She made her rookie debut in Belize back in 2019 and has graced the pages every year since, landing her first cover spot in 2020 for her feature in Bali. In 2024, she joined the class of SI Swimsuit “legends” featured in the 60th anniversary issue. Outside of her work with SI Swimsuit, the model has appeared on the pages of Vogue, Allure, Elle, Esquire, Glamour, GQ, Interview and more.
