Age: 23 Hometown: Ann Arbor, Michigan Current Town: Chicago, Illinois Second Job: Professional Sales Favorite food: Italian Favorite color: Baby blue Favorite movies: Dirty Dancing and A League of Their Own Favorite curves: My curve on both sides of my torso. I definitely inherited that curve from my mom. I’ll never forget when I was younger and I used to look at her honeymoon pictures when she was in her bikini on the beach. She had the longest, flattest stomach. I remember thinking she was so beautiful and I wanted to look just like her. Interests: My friends and family are everything to me; I don’t know where I’d be without them. I’m a very social person so hanging with them is my favorite thing to do. Surprising fact: I love to travel but hate to fly. Beautiful time: My most beautiful moments have been meeting women through my work with the Dove Real Beauty Campaign. There is nothing more empowering hearing a woman thank me for standing up against media and just being me. I’ve been able to give women a boost to feel the power and confidence they deserve to feel. I am excited about my message because… I can be part of attempting to finally change the media’s view on women’s body types. I have always been a curvier girl and always will be. I am proud of my body and think all women should be proud of theirs too. This is my time to encourage and help women feel great about themselves no matter what they weigh or look like. Women have surrendered to diets and insane eating habits to live up to social stereotypes for too long. It’s time that all women felt beautiful in their own skin.
