As an Indigenous model, I'm passionate about representing my both my culture & community on the runway. I want to inspire others to believe.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is adaptive, versatile & grounded in authenticity. I bring a centered & calm presence to allow the designer's work to shine. I read the garment & project its story, whether that's effortless, fierce or regal.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be seeing my image in a global campaign to show other women who look like me that they belong in this world too. I love to keep going to inspire others that dreams are not impossible.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I just wouldn't think about myself. I would like to invest back into my home on the Navajo Nation by supporting the Veterans & my local Elks Lodge and to give back to those who have helped me through my academic journey (law school). To me, this money would be a blessing--not just for me but as a way to UPLIFT OTHERS as well.
