When and how did you get into modeling?
When I was 14, I saved money to do a test shoot. I worked for a couple weeks in a pizza place spilling soda all over people. Ha. I did a test in Dallas, TX where I was in high school at the time. The photographer sent me into an agency called Page Parkes who took me on and was my mother agency for a few years. I got started with work and building my book right away. When I was 16 I moved to Milan, Italy and have since lived in 10 countries and worked in a total of 17.

Most Memorable moment in your career?
I would have to say either doing a Pantene commercial which I recently shot for the UK. Or shooting for Bebe because everyone I work with when I shoot for them makes me laugh. I have been very lucky to do so many jobs with so many great people I would be typing all day if I could.

Person most admired in my life:
I would have to say my father hands down. He is the 100% most genuine man I have ever met. Not a fake bone in his body. Full of love and life. Has more patience than anyone I have ever come across. He loves me like I have never seen a man love a child. He knows when to say, "no". When you look at him you can’t help but smile. He goes out of his way to help others always even if there isn't anything in it for him. I love him and look up to him and hope I can become a quarter of what he is as a person in my life.

What's your favorite car and why?
Oh wow. I would have to say the Porsche Cayenne. They are so goooood looking. BUT, am gonna be a little friendly to the environment and say a hybrid...maybe, Lexus 400h.

What is the one thing a guy can do to win your heart?:
ONE? Really? I don't know, maybe be everything I never knew I always wanted....and more.

Hobbies outside of modeling?
Rollerskating, bowling, movies (romantic comedies), swimming, dance class, traveling, my dogs, friends, singing in the shower, laughing so hard my stomach hurts, long slow walks, scrabble, yahtzee, and so many others.
