What inspired you into becoming a MODEL? I always knew that I wanted to pursue modeling. My mom used to get the Victoria Secret's catalogs every week and I used to steal them to look at the clothes and the models and mentally pick up tips haha. I've always loved photography and looking at great photos of beautiful people. So I started taking "modeling pictures" of myself because I couldn't afford a real photographer. I'd set up my camera, put on the timer, run to the other side, strike a pose, and run back haha. Finally, I invested in getting professional photos taken and since then I've fell in love with it even more.


How did you learn about networking in the Entertainment Industry? I went to a Performing Arts college and we had a class on the Business of Theatre and we learned all about the importance of networking and taking your career into your own hands. It wasn't until after college that I actually put it into action because I saw just how powerful networking could be.

Who do you look up to? I look up to a lot of different people for a lot of different things. I admire entertainers that attack the entire industry (music, film, magazines, etc). I admire those who truly want to change the world for the better (Martin Luther King Jr. is a HUGE influence for me). But I also look inward to myself because I know I'm capable of everything I dream of.

What's your favorite sports team? I'm loving the Phillies! I'm originally from Massachusetts so I have much love for the Red Sox and Patriots but since I've been living in Philadelphia for the past 6 years, the Phillies hold a special place in my heart. Congratulations to them on their World Series WIN!!

What is the last movie you saw, and what do you think of the movie? I think the last movie I saw was Sex Drive and I remember being highly disappointed. It wasn't as funny as I had hoped and I wanted to leave early. That's not a good sign lol

What are some of your favorite brands? I have so many! I love Counting Crows and Something Corporate; Mayday Parade, Fall Out Boy...I'm a huge fan of bands but I also love a lot of solo artists so it's hard to decide.

If OBAMA gave you one million dollars right now, what would you do with it? Well first, I would wonder why he's giving ME a million dollars instead of putting it towards fixing our country but after all the analysis, I would pay off all my debt, buy some things that I could really use, and I would really like to get a house :)

If you could have any car, what would it be? I've always loved the Audi TT! But I see some nice little sporty ones lately that Ford and Pontiac are making that I wouldn't mind having either haha

Who have you worked with and how have they affected your work? I've worked with a lot of Broadway actors lately in theatre shows I've done. Working so closely with them definately made me feel as if my dream is more in reach. I've also worked vocally with DJ's Taurus and Vaggeli. I love their sound and they're so driven that it makes me work twice as hard just to feel normal

What do you know about Streetball OR BETTER YET STREETBALL. COM? I honestly don't know much about streetball. My brother and I used to play basketball for school and town teams but that's about all I know :(

Favorite basketball team: Not really into basketball as much as I am with other sports but I guess I would have to say the Celtics cuz they're hometown


Favorite basketball player: I hear Lebron James is the latest craze! lol

Favorite entertainer: I love Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Sean Penn, Will Smith...


Wackiest entertainer: I think Dennis Rodman is a little wacky, Nicolas Cage,...and who knows what's up with Tom Cruise lol

Favorite music artist: I think Beyonce is taking over the world and I couldnt be happier! She's fierce!

Favorite video game: Super Mario 3!!! I LOVE that game!


Favorite movie: Good Will Hunting


Favorite thing to do when you're not working: I love just laying down and relaxing with a movie, some popcorn, etc. Or if I feel like going out, a nice lounge with some cocktails is perfect!

Favorite get a way spot: I don't normally get to "get away" but i would love to go somewhere tropical that I've never been before...which is pretty much anywhere lol


Favorite food and drink: Pasta is my weakness! Doesn't matter what kind, I LOVE pasta. and chocolate martini's :) but not together lol
