Who am I?

Someone who is confident and kind, someone who knows who they are and doesn't try to change themselves just to fit in, and someone who has respect for themselves.


What do I think about The Fashion Hero TV series?

I'm a 28 year old artist, I live in a small town in New Brunswick, Canada. I was born with an illness called Spinal Muscular Atrophy or SMA for short. SMA is the #1 genetic killer of children because the muscles used for breathing are very weak and become weaker over time. I'm very lucky that I'm still able to breath without needing a ventilator, I do use a breathing machine to sleep otherwise I would stop breathing while I sleep. because of SMA I have never been able to walk but I did have the ability to move my arms, unfortunately I lost that ability as I got older. Even though my life is a little harder than most people I try not to get down on myself because being sad isn't going to change anything, so instead I try to be grateful for the things that I have in my life like a great family, a beautiful home, and the ability to be able to go to the movies or concerts, even just being able to go with my wheelchair for a walk down the trail not far from my house, all these things I'm grateful for. I love my life just the way it is and I wouldn't change anything because I am the person I am today because of the way my life is. I've done so many things that I probably would have never done if I didn't have my disability.


Why would I be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of The Fashion Hero?

Painting,, going for walks to the beach and the trail not far from my home, I love going to concerts and shopping, playing with my dogs and my nephew, I love fashion and makeup, and most of all spending time with my family
