She describes herself as: "I'm a freelance model and fashion designer located in New York City! I also do photography and graphic design."

And on her web site: "A model, fashion designer, artist.

A woman doing all she loves."

My abridgement of her career summary from her web site: "I am a self taught fashion designer from the age of nine. I began sewing as clothing never fit me well and so I would tailor my clothing. Eventually, it turned into making my own by learning the construction of other clothing and using them as patterns. I began selling to friends, their family members and even some teachers would order custom made garments. From there, I was running a business by age fourteen.

[Her first modelling experience was when she was contacted by a photographer on Instagram, uncertain of the year] It jump started the confidence I didn’t have growing up.

I studied in Graphic Design and mostly film photography during high school which gave me a lot of knowledge in more creative fields such as logo, package and web design... I then went to college to study Fashion Merchandising and Business... I started doing fashion shows where I was learning basic runway, to then go on teaching runway classes in and outside of school with my classmates and putting on our school fashion shows. I did fashion shows outside of college, from local to NYFW. I also continued to expand my business while in college... I [participated in] Fashion Weeks in Syracuse and eventually alongside Mae Richards in being a designer and model scout for CNYFW located in Utica, NY.

Since I started, I’ve travelled and invested a lot of time and money into myself and others to keep my modelling going so much, that I was getting to the point of doing it full time along with my former job taking care of individuals with disabilities for almost eight years... I began to save money as much as I could and made the jump to New York City, where I am currently working as a freelance and self managed model, full time."

Her professional modelling career seems to have begun around 2018 {that's the oldest images I could find. I only became aware of her when I saw her in footage from the 2025 New York Swim Week shows}.

2017: Associates Degree in Fashion and Business at Herkimer County Community College

Agencies: Genetic Model Management

Her Fashion Brand is (or was) called Reed the Label {it took me a few seconds to notice the word play}

Portfolio images from Backstage:

He life and character sound as interesting as her physical appearance is. She certainly isn't a famous supermodel, but she isn't sitting around in a model flat waiting for work to come her way - there are a lot of images on social media tagged with her name over the past few years.

Here is just a resume summary screen capture from Backstage, plus a photo of her at the Origin of Oceans NYSW 2025 show:
