We meet the breathtakingly gorgeous American beauty who’s in love with adventure, travelling, modelling, and who has a passion for helping people.
Tell our readers a little bit about yourself
I’m a globe-trotting, runway-walking, beach-loving gal who just can’t resist an adventure! I was previously Miss Florida, and I’ve raised more than 150 000 USD and 5 cars for families in need. Because of that, I was awarded the President’s Gold, Silver, and Bronze Service Award, Governor’s Point of Light Honor, Proclamation from the Mayor of New Smyrna Beach, USA.
What would you say is one of the most significant points in your career?
My first job at 16 was working the 24 hours of Le Mans in France as their official race girl, and that opened up doors for me, leading to me working races and shoots around the world. I’ve since travelled to Canada, the Virgin Islands, England, Spain, Italy, Greece, Japan, China, Thailand, Australia, and more. Some of my favorite events were attending the Cannes Film Festival and walking in New York Fashion Week last year.
Worst job you had before modelling?
I thought I was going to be in a Geico insurance commercial while I was at the University of Florida, but I misunderstood and I ended up being a lizard mascot at a football game and had to wear a bulky outfit in swampy heat. I had about 20 students who drunkenly grabbed or sat on my tail and tried to rip my “head” off.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Determined, loyal, trustworthy, happy, and loving.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I sang opera at Disney World with a choir backing me.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Possibly on Maxim’s Hot 100 list. I’ve attended their event every year and it’s been a personal goal of mine for as long as I can remember.
When do you feel sexy?
