1. How did you first get started into modeling? I initially started doing runway. I did my first runway show in highschool and continued throughout college. I didn’t start taking pictures until about one year ago. I wanted to see how successful I could be with it although runway was my first love.

2. What are your biggest assets as a model? My natural curves. I think that is the best thing a woman can embrace!

3. What makes you sexy? My education. I am more than just a pretty girl posing for a camera. I have a strong educational background. Looks only last for so long.

4. What part of your body are you most complimented on? My smile. I try to make sure it is the first thing people see when they lay eyes on me.
