When did you start your career as a model?

I started when i was thirteen, in Dominican republic

Why did you want to be a model?

I liked how you could express emotions with your face and body language in photos. Simply amazing.

How is it different to work in NY compared to DR?

Really different. NY has so many girls, its a big industry, DR is smaller and you know everyone.

How do you spend your time when not working?

Relaxing and reading a book.

Favourite Shoot?

Tough question, i enjoy every shoot but I’d have to say a campaign i did for a Dominican brand named “Camila”.

I haven’t really had a bad shoot.

Can’t just pick one! I-D magazine, Vogue, and Nylon.
