What makes you the Next Runway Star?
I believe I have a charming personality that shines through, I’m pretty good at posing and dancing 💃, and although I may not have any prior experience modeling~ I think I could really show up and show everyone just how great I can be ;)
What would this once in a lifetime experience mean to you and why?
The experience being a model sounds fantastic. I’ve been trying to be more brave as of recent and I want to do things for myself and not just for others, a chance to be beautiful and be in the spotlight would be a testament to myself that it’s better to try than fear the opinions of others.
What are you most proud of about yourself or what have you overcome and why?
I’m most proud of myself for putting myself “out there,” social media, talent shows, photography~ things I could only dream of doing are things I’ve now done despite how nerve-wracking they can be… this competition is another addition to that list.
What would you do with the $20,000 cash prize?
I’d use half of the prize to payoff my parents house and my sister’s car loan, after that I’d put 5,000 into my savings and put the remaining money into a CD.
