INTRODUCTION

Namaste! Thank you for visiting my profile. I created an account on Model Mayhem because of my desire to collaborate with fellow artists as a high fashion, avant garde model. My objective is to create beautiful, powerful, thought provoking photographs with talented artists. I delight in novelty. I am optimistic, enthusiastic, and vivacious, craving expressions of strong emotion. I live in a world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. I see meaning in everything, and am on a continuous quest to adapt my life and values to achieve inner peace. I am currently working as a Medical Interpreter, engaging in yoga, reading Wally Lamb and eating right.

BELOVED QUOTATIONS

"In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
--Albert Camus

"El mundo es un libro,
aquel que no viaja lee sólo una página"
--San Agustin

"Girls who value things about themselves other than the way they look – their intelligence, athleticism, musical ability, capacity for friendship – aren’t nearly as affected by media ideals about beauty. My most important advice, which may sound ironic coming from a model, is this: Stop obsessing about being looked at. Do stuff. Be. Don’t wait to be thin to start living."
--Crystal Renn
