Teko. Tell us ABOUT yourself.

What are your goals and how do you see yourself progressing in the field Teko?
My goal this year is to be published and to possibly start working as a model full time in the next two years or so. I've been working as a model on and off since I was younger, but now I see that I might have a bright future and willing to do what it takes to start it.
How do you communicate with people Teko? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements?
I am very friendly, easy to work with, and great with others. I am pretty open to the requirements needed as long as clearly stated before hand.
If you had to do it over again, what would you change Teko?
I would start modeling sooner. When I started getting inquiries when I was younger, I was focused on school, but now I see that I could have made time for both.
Who is your hero Teko, and how have they helped you get to where you are?
Will Smith is my hero. He had taught be to follow my dreams and don't let anyone stop me from accomplishing my goals.
How important are creative education courses Teko? Have you taken any, and did you find them useful?
I have not taken any, but plan on going to the Atlanta institute of music soon.
Do you have any tips for someone who is just starting out in the industry?
Faith and believing in yourself. You have to stay focused, keep fighting, and never give up.
Please add any photo credits for the photos you uploaded so that everybody can get recognised.
