When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I first got started when I was asked to participate in an Akria runway show, when I started from there photographers took notice and instantly wanted to photograph me. It was great! My first shoot was published in Dark Beauty Magazine and I was hooked on modeling ever since.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
In the next ten years I see myself having completed a law degree and having traveled the world as a successful model, finally settling down and getting married.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I model three to four times a week, mainly working photoshoots but also doing runway and video work. I mainly do fashion, but I am very popular for wedding photography, commercial, and films.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
I’ve had a vast array of experiences, many are too long to simply type out, but my best has been working with my mentor, Chris Neumer. We work together as much as possible as we’re always talking on the phone of fun cool shoots we can do together.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
I’ve had a lot of funny experiences, most too long to type out. Not really anything embarrassing. I try to be my best while on set. What I find extraordinary is when I am walking around and people recognize me, or when I go to premiers for things I have worked on. It’s always great to have those moments.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
I’m happy with where the industry is and where it is going, towards health rather than just being thin.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I kickbox, run, and do insanity workouts with my father. As far as eating, I keep a healthy diet, by eating very fresh and try not to eat GMO foods.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
Not many people know I love doing charity work. I wanted to go to Thailand for mission work but wanted to finish my undergrad first.
Would you change anything about yourself?
Not really. I’m pretty content with the way I look now, if anything I’d make myself a few inches taller.
Are you currently in a relationship? How would you describe your partner?
I currently have a boyfriend of two years, and this is our second apartment together. He’s my better half. He’s very calm, understanding, intelligent, outgoing…basically the perfect balance for me.
