I left my serious 'model face' back in the day - nowadays, I'm just a happy-go-lucky gal who loves to laugh, appreciates good art, and cares deeply about making a positive impact.

In high school, I modeled for several photographers to build a portfolio. I then moved on to work with Girlco Model Management in Dallas, Texas, while attending college. I took a break from modeling to continue my education and graduated with a BFA in Art from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. 

Skip to age 38. One day, I decided to take life by the (long)horns and got back to my roots by modeling and painting again. I wanted to break the fashion industry standards and stigmas by creating a need for a petite and classic model. I started working with local photographers in the Austin area, building a new portfolio. Soon I discovered independent magazines and learned how to submit my work. I was finally published and on the cover of a magazine for the first time in October 2016. Soon after that, I was signed with TL Modeling Agency in Houston, Texas.

But things don’t always go as planned. After enduring occasional rejection from magazine editors, I founded my own art & fashion magazine called Bevie in November 2016. My mission with Bevie was to showcase emerging, local and international talent such as artists, models, photographers, designers, and other creatives. By making a sophisticated publication more approachable, I was able to help my fellow colleagues get established or further along in their career. After two years of publishing my bimonthly mag, I decided to go back to work full-time and the last issue was released in December 2018. Bevie still has quite the following today!

Today, I am now focused on creating mixed-media art, establishing my networking event, turned women’s network called Girl Flock Party, and becoming a part of the local artist community. It has been an amazing journey and I am grateful for every experience along the way!
