In 2022, I broke that glass ceiling in the fashion industry by becoming Canada's first professional runway model with Down syndrome. I have since walked numerous runways including New York and Paris, and have been featured in publications and magazines globally including YAHOO, STYLE CANADA, and VOGUE. I was honoured to also be the United Nations 2023 WDSD keynote speaker in Trinidad to support inclusion in education. I was asked before my very first runway if I was nervous. I replied "I am not nervous because I AM BRAVE AND BEAUTIFUL." I believe it is our unique differences that make us ALL beautiful. Believe in Yourself.
I am honoured to be a CDSS AMBASSADOR to help raise funds and awareness for Down syndrome. On June 15th, I will will be running 3.21 km. Please support CDSS by joining me in person or making a donation. Together we will make a difference!
