She wins you over with her gorgeouos blue eyes and perfect pink toned lips, this American born newcomer has already been seen in W Magazine and Vanity Fair, an impressive achievement due to her very recent debut to the modeling scene.

Originally from Detroit, Michigan her life made a quick transformation from working in the GMC assembly line business to appear in high class photo shoots after her decision to attend a modeling opening call in Chicago. A cleaver choice which has paved her way through the fashion industry, a platform that we are sure will take her to great heights.

 

Q: How would you describe yourself?


I think I’m pretty laid back and easy going, maybe a bit of quirky too.

 

Q: Tell us something that very few people know about you


I’m an open book, I don’t find myself keeping too many secrets.

 

Q: Best modeling experience so far


I’ve enjoyed every experience modeling I’ve had so far, so don’t think I could choose just one.

Q:  Do you prefer working on shoots or at shows? 


I love both. I do like shoots just a bit more since it’s an all day (or night) production and you actually get to know everyone that you’re working much better.

 

Q: Best and worst parts of being a model?


The best is the amazingly creative and dedicated people that I’ve been able to meet and work with. Not to mention, the incredible locations, clothing and accessories. I love that every day is different, most of all.

The worst is that the pinching, hair-pulling, skin reactions, too small or too big shoes and the long hours, which are sometimes unpaid, are all part of the job description as well. 

 

Q: What is your dream modeling job?


The Victoria Secret fashion show…Hey, if you’re gonna dream, dream big, eh? 

 

Q: 3 things you can’t live without


Water, air and food.
