I am United States Marine Corps Veteran that is very into fitness and fashion and far from perfect. I've pushed past divorce and homelessness, depression and anxiety, multiple surgeries on my feet, neck and back- as well as chronic migraines and chronic fatigue syndrome. As much as I've been through and still go through, I want to encourage as many people as I can to push forward past their fears and limitations to accomplish their dreams .

I think it is great that the show is showing that anyone can be the face of a brand with hard work and confidence. It is definitely a challenging experience but I am up to not only compete but to win and show everyone that you don't have to be perfect to be a fashion hero.

I believe that I would be a great role model for this generation because I want to show people that you can be uncomfortable, push past any limitations and make them your superpower! No matter how hard things in life can get to never give up- the light shines brightest in the darkness!
