History

In 2016, I made the difficult decision to overcome my “what if” fears about a freelance modelling career. I had to develop the courage to travel without an agency’s protection. I left my part time job to focus on my dreams of turning my modelling passion into a career. Around the same time, I decided to try submitting to a few magazines after realizing that freelance models can be published. I submitted to a magazine where the editor accepted my work and reached out to compliment it. He suggested I submit to another magazine that he is a co-editor of. I listened to his suggestion and was happy that the lead editor of Northern Shine, an Australian based Magazine, accepted my work for publication in the Lace and Feathers Issue.

In 2018, the editor of Pretty Poison Magazine booked me for an editorial photoshoot. It was a pleasure to meet and work with someone who has been publishing my work for a year and a half beforehand. I was even a featured model in Pretty Poison Magazine’s The Gorgeous Ladies of Ottawa Special Feature in the Beauty of Boudoir and Artistic Nude Issue. I am very honoured that the editor booked me for a photoshoot and photographers were still submitting photos of me to magazines. I was unable to submit to magazines in 2018 since my schedule was extremely busy. I was so overloaded where I watched my to-do list grow while I barely had any time to sleep. The exhaustion is worth it though! I travelled a lot making it a great modelling year for me!

In 2020, I had to rush home on a last-minute basis while on a modelling tour where I was forced to postpone the rest of my trip amongst many others planned for that year because of a coronavirus outbreak. I was determined to find a way to pursue my modelling passion during a pandemic where in-person bookings were not possible due to worldwide border closures. I used my problem-solving skills to research and invest in the ability to perform remote bookings, such as buying new photography equipment, as an alternate way to undertake modelling assignments. This new phenomenon created the opportunity for me to establish connections and partake in virtual projects with various artists from around the world in a safe manner without being physically present. I managed to overcome the difficult time to create a calendar for 2021 and attain the honour of seeing my tethered work published. I was able to present the capability of capturing diverse concepts to produce a unique final result through remote collaborations from the beginning to the end of my calendar’s production. Overall, I have made remote bookings a permanent part of my career as the advantages will outlast any crisis.
