In October 2021, my life changed with a Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis. What followed were some of the hardest days of my life — chemo, radiation, 10 surgeries, including a double mastectomy and DIEP-flap reconstruction, with one more surgery ahead this fall. 

There were moments of fear. Moments of exhaustion. Moments where I didn’t recognize my own body.

But there were also moments of incredible strength, faith, friendship, and love.

That’s why I’m so honored to participate — for my 4th year — as a Designer, Model, and Runway Coordinator in Runway for Hope 2026 supporting New England Breast Cancer Alliance.

This cause isn’t just important to me. It’s personal. I know firsthand how much support matters — emotionally, financially, and physically — during this journey.

If you’re able, please consider donating. Any amount helps. And if you can’t give, sharing my page means just as much.

Thank you for standing beside me through every surgery, every scar, and every comeback.

Your support truly means the world to me!!
