If you weren’t a model...

I’d be doing something else creative. Maybe I’d be a wedding planner or a kindergarten teacher.

Favorite workout?

Jetset Pilates! (4203 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, 305209-1007; jetsetpilates.com)

I always struggled with fitness, but as soon as I went to Jetset, I saw results right away. I sweat more than at the gym!

How has social media impacted your career?

Instagram is like my portfolio. Sometimes I have clients say, “I booked you because of the way you look in this video you posted.”

Do you feel responsible for setting a positive example for your followers?

I like to follow models who eat healthy, work out, and have a good vibe, so I like to give off that same thing. I don’t want it to seem fake; I’m a real person.

Go-to place for a night out?

I’m a big fan of Basement Miami

(2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-641-7119; basement miami.com). I think it’s cool how they have the bowling alley, iceskating rink, and club all in one. I also love Soho Beach House

(4385 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-507-7900, sohobeach house.com). That’s kind of my thing; it’s a good day-drinking spot.

Advice to aspiring models?

Take care of your body and skin and love yourself!
