“My name is Kayla Michelle Martinez and I am 100% Puerto Rican. I grew up in New York City, specifically in the Lower East Side & the Bronx. I enjoy connecting with people, writing and reading and I enjoy sitting on my couch and watching any Wes Anderson film. I did Musical Theater for a bit, it was definitely fun as a kid to explore myself through performance. It’s forced me to be okay with vulnerability and truth which is why I enjoy modeling. It’s an opportunity for me to be honest and open to any moment the camera captures — pretty or not. “
