How would you describe yourself in a few words?
In one quote: “I do what I want” in a few adjectives:
Feisty, headstrong, and passionate lol
How long have you been a model?
About 10 years or so! Time flies!
How did you get into modelling?
A girl I worked with at a restaurant was doing some modeling and set up a shoot for me with her photographer! I never stopped since!
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first photographer ever later told me that when I first walked in the door he didn’t think I had what it took for modeling. Then he picked up the camera and everything changed :) He still has my very first shot ever taken on his website!
What does modelling mean to you?
Modeling is everything to me. In our minds we tend to visualize ourselves in our best form. Modeling let me show the world how I see me, no restrictions.
A model you particularly admire?
Adrianna Lima…. such a talented, God-fearing, gorgeous woman.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
All over the world! I’d love to master NY one day though!
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Either business casual or yoga pants and a sweatshirt!
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I can’t imagine not living in the bay area!! SF Bay Area always has and always will be home!
What is happiness?
Happiness is living your dream and not giving a fuck what other people think or say!
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
At work, or cuddled up on the couch with a pet binge watching Shameless!
What’s your next goal
To be featured on other major magazine world wide! Victoria’s Secret, Maxim (again), FHM, Arsenic…#dreambig
