What makes your style stand out?

What makes my style stand out is that I truly own it. As I’ve grown older, my attitude toward being myself has evolved. A dear friend once told me, “Do you,” and that simple phrase became my permission slip to push my own fashion boundaries. Now, I rock my style without fear of others’ opinions. Balancing confidence with humility is what truly makes me stand out.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is twofold: first, winning this competition and heading to Milan, surrounded by the world of high fashion and my peers. Second, walking into an event, feeling everyone’s eyes on me, knowing I’ve pushed my fashion boundaries and truly stood out. Ultimately, being a model in Milan would be the ultimate dream.

What would you do with $20,000?

With the $20,000, I’d do two things: invest in my retirement fund for future security after years of working and raising a family, and donate part of it to a charity that helps young people in need. That way, I’m securing my own future and paying it forward at the same time.
