1. When did you start your career?
I started modeling about 9 months ago after graduating college. A couple months after getting out of college I signed with an agency to represent me and went from there. I also modeled as a kid, but transitioned out of it before my teenage years.
2. What kind of model are you (glamour,fashion,alternative,everything)?
I am currently am participating in a wide range of modeling genres from high fashion to fitness to lifestyle.
3. What are you hobbies,favorite movie,favorite music,etc?
I have many hobbies. I played Div-I basketball for my college. I am also an artist and poet. Mostly I like to hang with friends and just have a good time. I am a big movie buff! And my favorite movie is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. As for music, I listen to all types from hip-hop, to jazz, to some indie rock.
4. Is modeling your full time job?
I also hold a position at a Marketing and Sales Outsourcing Company in the Atlanta Area. I juggle the two, and it’s about a 50/50 as far as time allocation goes.
5. What do you know now that you wish you did when you 1st started modeling?
Beware of SCAMS and people who ask for money up front. If any person or agency truly wants to represent you they will invest in you, and get compensated when you get jobs
6. Where do you want to take your modeling in the future?
Wherever modeling takes me! I’d love to be able to make good friends, travel, and make some pretty good money all while having fun in the modeling world. I eventually would like to transition into acting and give that a go as well.

9. Whats your dream modeling gig?
My dream modeling job is to land a high profile job for Calvin Klein, Versace, or Giorgio Armani.
10. What advice would you give a new model entering the industry?
