As a child, I was very tall for my age. And, like most young girls, I wanted to blend with my friends instead of standing out. Luckily, I had amazing people in my life help me overcome my insecurities through mentorship and encouragement. As a result, I was empowered by the information shared with me and I learned to embrace my difference. As such, I began to feel more confident and daily I would stand up straight and walk in my purpose! Subsequently, I began modeling in high school and competing in pageants in college. In fact, I have had the pleasure of walking on countless runways for fashion designers and participating in some of the most prestigious pageants in the United States. Notably, I have trained with amazing runway coaches —and this preparation has given me the ability to help others pursue their passion.
“Every day when I wake up, I try to live in my 86,400 by making the most of every second that I have, living in the moment, realizing that yesterday is already gone, and tomorrow is not promised.”
Although I continue to compete and walk in fashion shows, it has been a natural progression to step off of the runway as a contestant and model, and focus that passion and expertise into the role of Runway Coach —empowering individuals to feel confident both on and off the runway. I believe confidence is essential to our health, and well-being —and I help people discover that wonderful attribute through workshops and trainings. Moreover, having experience as a pageant director, producer, and judge, I have been afforded several opportunities that I can share with audiences and clients. In effect, I merge my intuitive teaching ability and my 15-years of experience to help people of all ages turn the world into their stage.
In my free time, I love to disc jockey, dance, travel, shoe shop, and spend time with my husband Lamar and daughter Londyn.
