Tell us about your life's work.

My life has always been based in dreams. Working in the present to make moves towards the future. Seeing how big the world is and how lucky we are to experience different cultures. I’ve always loved to help and travel. It’s a feeling that fills me up. Giving always comes back to you. You just never know how. I’m lucky to work as a model where my work inspires me to stay healthy and give the best version of myself.

How does your sense of pride inform what you do?

Knowing that I’ve worked each day on my life and passions gives me the motivation to pursue my goals and dreams. I try to give to others even if it’s just a smile.

What do you want your legacy to be?

To be remembered as an example and motivation to others. That any goal can be achieved. I come from a small city in Colombia called Cali. Modeling helped me come to New York. My love for sports helped me get a scholarship where I was able to study, win an international contest called Mr. World, find different opportunities and motivate many others back home.

What’s your take on classic style?

Classic style for me is wearing simple pieces with good colors and good shoes. Leather footwear is a strong classic.
