Before the Shoot

Tell me your story. What do you want people to know about who you are and why you are participating in this project?

I'm an Actress and Personal Trainer. I grew up in the Carolina's and have since hopped all over the country for different contracts and events since about 2015. I grew up with a lot of body confidence issues stemming from a family history of poor body confidence and working in two very aesthetic-focused industries. I yo-yo dieted for most of my life and know what it's like to live everyday with a heightened awareness of "how gross do I look right now?"

After graduating from university, I decided it wasn't how I wanted to live the rest of my life. I began a long and arduous journey toward self-acceptance that continues to this day.

When shooting with Ginny, I told her "I wouldn't have dared do this a year ago." The fact that the Body Love Project not only intrigued me, but attracted me, is evidence of the growth I've had in the last few years.

This is my own form of a victory lap. A celebration of finally, truly, loving myself.
