Searching for a haven of tropical peace? A secluded seaside escape? A place to unwind with rum in hand and indulge in ultimate island luxury? Look no further than Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua, as we return to the Caribbean retreat for another brilliant Destination MAXIM tour…
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a Double Gold medalist professional figure skater, six-time US national competitor and a former MAXIM USA Magazine Cover Model winner – in 2020 I became the first Asian American model to ever be on the cover! I also used to be a pageant girl and I won the crown for Miss Orange County, California. Ever since, I’ve worked with so many amazing brands like Chanel, NYX & L’Oréal, FX Network and Hulu. I am proud to be a model, actress and influencer to represent the Asian American community and hope to continue to inspire and uplift my peers by just sharing my life and being my authentic self.
When do you feel the most beautiful?
When I can be my true and authentic self and the energy in the room feels fun and natural. I love enjoying myself, staying in the moment, surrounding myself with great people, making good memories, just laughing and doing what I love. The feeling of being beautiful is not really much externally, but it’s knowing that we are all imperfectly perfect in our own ways and embracing it! That’s when we feel beautiful.
What do you love most about yourself?
I love the way I represent myself, my confidence and my elegant poise. I know exactly who I am with my little morals and self-discipline. I also love the way I view life – I’m pretty good at looking for the best in every situation. I believe life is as good as your mindset. Life is short, enjoy it!
