I underwent weight loss surgery five years ago, shedding over 135 lbs. Last year, I had skin removal surgery for my 40th birthday. Finally, feeling comfortable in my body, this photoshoot celebrates self-acceptance and embracing my newfound confidence.

My mom has been the most influential person in my life, leaving an impact in both positive and negative ways. My struggles are a testament to the importance of being agile and flexible. Life is full of surprises, and using my experiences to help others understand the value of adaptability is a powerful way to give back.

Up to this age, I’ve achieved significant milestones in my career, worked my way up the industry ladder, and navigated various challenges with my family. Raising a beautiful, intelligent, and compassionate daughter is a personal accomplishment. I’ve played roles as a daughter, wife, sister, and friend. Recent victories include overcoming discomfort in my skin, learning to set boundaries, putting myself first, and finding love.

My favorite beauty secrets include having a pure, selfless heart and radiating love from the inside out.

Perfect happiness, to me, isn’t about perfection but finding contentment in what the universe brings. Embracing life’s unpredictability and being flexible to navigate unexpected challenges are keys to happiness.
