How did your love story begin?

Andrew and I first met when I was just 17, he was 19. We were both pursuing modeling in Boston, which alone is paradoxical. Inevitably we wound up on the same set and were drawn to each other. We didn’t have our first date until 2 years later. I had moved to NYC to further my career, when I found myself back in Boston at 19 he was the first thing I thought of. We’ve been inseparable since.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Through Andrew I have learned the true meaning of adventure! He is so granola in all the best ways. I’m tempted to reference our slower, more intimate moments together. But honestly camping with him has only highlighted the fact when there is only us, and no fancy LA embellishments, we are so in love! We found a spot on Lake Isabella called Kern river that we’ve visited twice. We saw fields of deer, river lobsters. Camped by the water, fished, swam. It was the best time of our life.

What would you do with $20,000?

Andrew and I would kickstart our upstate New York farmy dream life! We are currently living in LA, I’m working as a model full time and Andrew is a graphic designer. We both do well but often dream of a life outside the city. I grew up in Massachusetts going to animal farm camp, and he shares my desire for isolation. 🤣 We both grew up young, low income, kids of color. With the right investments, this money would mean financial freedom in a way we’ve yet to know.
