Occupation

Piercings

I have lots of piercings mapped all over my ear. I also have a double nose piercing!

Tattoos

I have quite a few tattoos, mostly floral and feminine pieces. I have butterflies on my hands, flowers throughout my arms and legs, a dragon on my upper leg, and my very first tattoo was a crane on my arm. Some of my most meaningful pieces are a portrait of my cat on my upper arm. My favorite one is a vintage-inspired pin-up girl on my lower leg that reminds me of Betty Boop. I also have a playful Playboy bunny tattoo on my booty cheek that shows off my fun side!

Experience

Yes! I’m very involved in the Bikini Coast International world and love participating in bikini pageants and bike washes at Harley-Davidsons across the country. I also model for RevHeads, a classic car dealership in St. Louis, which introduced me to the automotive side of modeling and made me appreciate car culture even more. Slamology was my first car show experience, and I had such an amazing time modeling there, both in the bikini pageant (where I placed third!) and for Gauge Magazine. Outside of that, I also do Instagram modeling as a hobby and creative outlet because I love connecting with people and expressing different sides of myself through photoshoots.

Hobbies

I’m a dancer at heart, so a lot of my hobbies revolve around movement and performance. I love aerial hoop (lyra), pole dancing, and go-go dancing. They’re some of my favorite creative outlets and I love the combination of artistry, strength, and self-expression!

Worst Habit

I’m definitely a “just one more episode / one more song / one more bite” kind of person.

Favorite Food

Seafood is definitely my favorite! I love sushi, poke, grilled or fried; I’m pretty much happy with it any way it comes. I did also become a recent fan of Skyline Chili after Slamology in Ohio... the cheese situation alone won me over. I think every meal should come with that much cheese and onions.

Favorite Music

My music taste is all over the place in the best way.. I like Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Depeche Mode, and Insane Clown Posse!

What is your most prized possession?

My cats, Anchovy, Felix the Cat, and Fluffernutter, and my mini goldendoodle, Willow! They’re my little daily dose of comfort and chaos.

Do you attend Car Shows?

Now I do! Slamology was my first car show experience, but definitely won’t be my last. I had so much fun and got such a great first impression of the scene that now I’m hooked. Whether it’s in Indianapolis, Cleves, or anywhere else, I’d go wherever the cars and the community are.

Favorite Part of Shows

Definitely the energy and crowd engagement. I love events that include bikini competitions because they bring so much excitement and make the experience feel interactive. It gives me a chance to participate in a way that feels natural to me through modeling and connecting with people.

What is your Must Attend Show?

Slamology, no question! It was my first car show and gave me such a great introduction to the community. The energy, the people, and getting to model there made it an unforgettable experience.

What do you do when you're not modeling?

When I’m not modeling, I’m pursuing my degree in social work while working in a trauma-focused therapy setting providing direct care to survivors of abuse. I love that my life allows me to balance meaningful work with creativity and self-expression. I think being multidimensional is what makes life interesting.

What do you think of Gauge Magazine?

I wanted to shoot with Gauge because I knew they were such a recognizable part of Slamology! Seeing the photographers, the reach of the magazine, and the community around it made me want to be part of it. I’ve modeled for magazines before, so being featured with Gauge felt like a really exciting opportunity and another meaningful step in growing my modeling experience.

Four words that describe you?

Feminine, fun, flirty, and bubbly!

What is your dream ride?

A classic custom lowrider like the Chevrolet Monte Carlo I saw at Slamology. It had pinstripes, a fully retro build, fun details, and really stuck with me!

What do you look for in a man?

Energy matters more than anything... I like someone who feels real, focused, and present.

What makes your motor rev?

Anything with movement and adrenaline! events, music, dancing, or just being out in a high-energy environment.

What makes you put on the brakes?

I’m naturally considerate. Literally, I’ll literally brake for birds and animals every time.

What's your perfect date?

Something spontaneous...good music, a fun drive, and ending up somewhere we didn’t plan on.

Most romantic thing someone has done for you?

Thoughtful gestures always stand out to me. Something simple but intentional that shows someone was really paying attention!

Best advice for others?

I really believe taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. Mental health impacts every part of life.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

To become a licensed clinical social worker, continue advocating for mental health, and keep growing creatively.
