Choosing modeling and acting as my career paths was more than just a professional decision; it was a pivotal moment of reclaiming my story and identity. For years, I navigated through the shadows of ridicule, a consequence of surviving burns that left visible scars on my arms. In this journey, I found solace and strength in the arts, reminiscent of Prince Zuko from Avatar, whose scars symbolized not just pain but resilience and transformation.

My foray into modeling became my canvas of expression, where each photograph captured more than just an image—it narrated my saga of self-acceptance and defiance against societal standards of beauty. Acting, on the other hand, allowed me to delve into myriad personas, each role a step further into exploring the depths of human emotions and the myriad ways beauty manifests.

This journey is not about seeking validation from the world but about discovering the beauty within my scars and embracing the uniqueness they bring to my art. Like Zuko, my scars are not my weakness but my strength, a reminder of the battles I've won against my own insecurities and the societal gaze that sought to define me. Through modeling and acting, I channel my experiences into powerful messages of resilience, self-love, and the beauty of being unapologetically oneself.
