What were some of your aspirations growing up? Did you always want to be<br />

a model? When I was younger, I thought I wanted to be a singer. I used to love<br />

to sing but I quickly grew out of that. So, no I haven't always wanted to be a<br />

model. I did know that I always wanted to be in the spotlight. I wanted to be<br />

known for something.<br />

Who are your biggest influences? My mom is my biggest influence. If I can<br />

only be half of the mother to my future children as she was to me and my<br />

brother, my children would have some astonishing lives.<br />

“Have patience because ‘no’<br />

means that there is a better<br />

‘yes’ right behind it.”<br />

How have you developed your career? Hard work,<br />

determination, and humility. This industry is about<br />

relationships and word gets around fast. So, I treat<br />

everyone with respect. You never know who you will<br />

come across again.<br />

How do you seek out opportunities? I have always<br />

searched for my own jobs, even when I had an agent. I<br />

look on casting sites and just word of mouth.
