1)What/who inspired you to get into modeling? My best friend Crystal Hamilton encouraged me to take up modeling when we were in high school. Once I started modeling she and Wynice Joseph continued to encourage and support me. My little sister Sherry-Anna Joseph, only twelve years of age has inspired most profoundly. She is smart, a fashionista and is always cheering on her big sister. When I had just started modeling she was my main supporter and my little personal trainer...lol.

2) How old are you now? I am twenty one(21) years of age.

3) How long have you been into the industry? It has been two years since I have been in the modeling industry. In 2009,I participated in the Fashion Festival at Crown Plaza and the Trinidad and Tobago Miss World pageant in 2010.

4) Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? In 5years I hope to complete my studies in the medical field and later specialize in cardiology or engage in some form of engineering. In aspect to the fashion industry I would like to attain international exposure and I would also like to help individuals to get into modeling .

5) Is it hard to balance modeling and a personal life? At time it can be strenuous to balance personal life and modeling but once there is a love and an inner drive to succeed it is fun and becomes easy. Modeling can help you relax and give you experiences in all walks of life. i personally think it is a good way to get away from academics, have fun and still engage in something productive.

6) Other than modeling, tell me, what do you do for fun? I am all for the adventure. I relish outdoor activities. Currently I have eschewed rigorous activities to maintain my weight. Activities such as kayaking, lawn tennis, netball, football, beach, climbing and swimming I find enjoyable. I love shopping for dresses, reading, chatting , writing and taking pictures main activities I engage in at any instance.

7) Is there any advice you will give to aspiring models? I would advise not just models but any one that want to engage in some form of activity to just go for it. Do not limit yourself or dwell on your faults. Use what you have and make the best out of it. Discipline dedication, respect and honesty can make you or break you. Let wisdom be your guide and make God your best friend.

9 How did you hear about CFS and how has your experience been thus far? I became knowledgeable about CFS from a few of my friends that were models for the company and also from advertisement via facebook. The experience so far has been great and truly educating for me. I think anyone would feel right at home if they were to enroll at this institute. I have been given the foundation I needed right here at CFS. Learning here is a must and the manager is respectful, helpful and very involved in the development of all the models. So far I have learned about skin care, hair care, cosmetology and several runway activities.
