“Coming up in the industry now I would say a positive is that you’re so capable of steering your own career through social media and creating your own brand.

For me, get out of the house and take a walk. In nature is the best, but I can find nature growing through a crack in the sidewalk. That’s important. And of course, smiling! I really do think it has to do with an attitude of gratitude. An attitude of gratitude keeps you happy, and happiness is youthful.”

I moved to Paris to study art, and I was there working as an artist, taking classes, and I had a little sick dog that I was using up all of my money to try and heal. It was right at that point that this photographer, Errol Sawyer, saw me at the phoning office and convinced me to let him take my photo.”
