Hi! I’m Kristen, but you can call me Kay! My entire family hails from Brooklyn, New York, so that means I come from a family of “go-getters” (So you know I have to pack a punch) but I was raised primarily in Florida. Modeling has become more than just a hobby for me, it’s become my passion! I started in 7th grade, in the middle of Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sawgrass Mills, Florida, and instantly I knew this is where I belong, but I’ve been discouraged since finding out that my height was way below the “standards” of the industry. I’m tired of standards! I’m 5’1 and full of FIERCE! I love runways, I love fashion, I love taking pictures and anything else creative for that matter. My goal as a model is to show EVERY girl out there to keep chasing no matter what! There is a lane for you and you will make it happen, just don’t forget to have fun while you’re doing it!

I have a passion for the youth. I am amazed by their natural purity and how original they are without even understanding how to be “original”. I have a passion to teach the youth and to grow healthier, stronger and further educated generations to come. My dream is to live out my dream! I always dreamt that I would be an internationally respected model one day, like Tyra Banks, or that Tyra herself would cast me for ANTM. I dream of making a difference in both the fashion industry and in society.

As the next Fashion Hero, I will show the world and girls/women just like me that anything you dream is achievable! Do not let your inhibitions taunt you into think you “CAN’T” do anything! I will express self-worth, hard work & dedication, and show viewers how to love one another while loving yourself first!
