Professional Model

These are just a few of the questions I get ask all the time so I created this section for anyone who wants to know... If you have one you'd like me to add, just send me a note.  I'd love to hear from you!

1. Describe your perfect day.

A beautiful day in Hawaii…some sun and relaxation on the beach with a good book, surfing, sushi, and friends.  And really, who am I kidding, shopping of course!

 

2. If you could live anywhere where would you choose?

I’m trying to figure this out right now.  I love cities, warm, almost tropical climates, and areas with lots of culture…any ideas? 

 

3. What career would you choose if you weren't acting or modeling?

I’d like to be a pediatrician.  I think children are our future and any job that involves nurturing or teaching them, is the most worthwhile thing we can invest our time in.

 

4. Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?

I definitely consider myself to be spiritual.  I have a strong faith in God and believe he loves and cares for all of us. 

 

5. What qualities do you look for in a guy?

Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and who is honest, trustworthy, and can make me laugh.  Of course it doesn’t hurt if they’re drop dead gorgeous!  J

 

6. Do you see yourself settling down soon?

I’m as settled down as I plan on being for a very long time.  I have a wonderful man in my life who I adore and I couldn’t be happier. 

 

7. If you had three wishes, what would they be?

First, I would love to travel the globe and see all the beautiful places that I’ve always wanted to visit… the Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, etc.  Secondly, I would like to work to increase awareness of global warming and environmental issues.  I already drive a hybrid car and try to do my part, but someday I would love to build my dream home in a completely green way and be able to invest in alternative sources of clean energy.  Thirdly, I would love to take all my friends and family on a completely amazing vacation where everybody would be able to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy themselves.  

 

8. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I have to admit, I’m addicted to retail therapy!  I’m also a huge movie buff—you name it, I’ve seen it.  Other things at the top of my list include playing with my dog, curling up with a good novel or the latest fashion magazine, and whipping up some gourmet creation in the kitchen. 

 

9. Do you have any regrets in your life?

I think regrets are a part of life. I believe the mistakes we make, if we learn from them, can help us grow into better, stronger, more empathetic people.  I also feel that everything happens for a reason and, in my life, sometimes good things have come out of bad situations.

 

10. Who do you view as most influential in your life?

My parents have been the best role models and examples any kid could wish for.  They taught me to work hard and believe in myself but also to grounded and know what I believe in.  I feel very blessed to have them both in my life.

 

11. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be?

I would have been stronger and refused to let people take advantage of me in certain situations.  I have a tendency to avoid conflict at all costs and in the past that has been detrimental.

 

12. Who would you most like to meet?

I know it’s corny but I’m going to have to go with Oprah here.  I love her…she’s done so much for women’s rights and children’s causes.  She gives people a voice who can’t speak for themselves.  She’s a great humanitarian. 

 

13. Do you prefer runway or fashion photo shoots?

I definitely prefer runway.  I love the excitement and the connection with the crowd.  There’s nothing quite like it.

 

14. What’s your favorite romantic thing to do?

I love hanging out on the beach with my honey or trying out a great new restaurant.

 

15. If there’s one thing to do before you die what would it be?

I’d love to go on safari through Africa. 

 

16. What’s your favorite time of the year?

Christmas time…no question about it!  My birthday is also in December so as a kid I would spend all year waiting for the last month to roll around. 

 

17. What piece of advice would you give your children someday?

Challenge yourself by doing things that scare you.  It might sound crazy but it’s advice I try to follow myself.  It’s very empowering to conquer your fears.  A lot of times you learn you actually enjoy things you never would have never even attempted before.  

 

18.  Do you work out a lot?

Since I travel often it’s very difficult to maintain a routine but I do my best.  I practice yoga and I also try to work out on weights and cardio machines a several days a week.

 

19. Do you have any pets?

I have a gorgeous little four pound Yorkie named Sophie who has her picture all over my website.  She is the sweetest little dog and has quite a personality to match.  She travels with me everywhere and has become part of my family that I can’t imagine life without.

 

20. Do you like all the traveling that you do?

I love it!  I think it’s one of my favorite things about modeling!
