Kim is my influencer photographer. My mom found Kim on social media. Being an influencer with Kim has been an amazing experience. The experience has made me grow so much as a person.

How did you first hear about Inspiring Teens Magazine? Why does being part of Inspiring Teens Magazine matter to you?
Kim introduced us to the magazine. I feel like being involved in something like this will show other teens that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. I think it is an excellent opportunity for any teenager to be published.

It will help pay for my future schooling.

I would love to reach the top leaderboard and have the opportunity to win the scholarship.

If another teen is thinking about joining the Inspiring teens magazine leadership challenge but feels unsure, what would you tell them?
I would tell them to do it not only for the experience but for themselves. You never know where a journey could lead you and this may just open a huge door for your future.

Is there anyone you'd like to thank for helping you get where you are today?
I would like to Thank Kim for always going out of her way to make each one of our shoots special and for always believing in me. I would also like to Thank my parents and my family for always supporting me.
