My dream job: If Kate Moss can do it at 5'7, so can I! I want to be the face of a major fashion campaign, and I would also like to do a skin care, make-up, or hair campaign as well...Covergirl, or L'Oreal something very commercial and mainstream.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I am 20 years old and ready to take the modeling and acting industry by storm. I'm very dedicated and motivated to achieve each and every one of my goals, and I have enough determination to not stop, even when I'm there. I am a firm believer of positive energy and the effects it brings.

Why do you want to pursue modeling? I sort of fell into the industry, and ended up falling in love with how I get to play different characters and portray different emotions through pictures or video.

What are your favorite things about the industry? Everyone that I've met seems to be on the same positive wavelength as me, and its cool to surround myself with others who have the same interests and energy as I do, and to meet people consistantly who are striving for better constantly. I also can't complain about the free giveaways and travels. :-)

Do you have an agency? I am not exclusively with any agencies, I do freelance with a couple in and out of state.

Do you have a dream agency? I think Ford or Elite would be my dream agency

Favorite things: Family and Friends , reading and researching, intellectual conversations, laughing until my stomach hurts, ripping fashion spreads out of magazines for my collection, and ferrer rocher chocolates.

Favorite music, band: I am a huge fan of rhythym and blues, motown, jazz, etc. I can thank my grandfather for that :-) R&B is also another fave.

Hobbies: I am starting to love cooking, and I like to plan events as well, mostly fashion events over anything else. I have a huge shopping addiction, and I love doing spontaneous things.

Favorite piece of clothing: - hmmm... A long purple/white Victoria's Secret bathrobe that my aunt bought me for Christmas a couple years back.

Favorite artist (any kind): Christina Aguilera is my favorite artist - her voice never fails to give me chills.

Place you'd love to visit: I really want to explore Europe and Africa. As far as vacation spots - Seychelles and St. Lucia have always been on my top list.

Currently you're obsessed about: my new apartment!! Lady Gaga and her outfits, and I seem to have an obsession with apples as of recently. :-)
