Were you "discovered" or did you choose to get into modeling?
I guess you could say a little bit of both. I have been acting in television commercials since I was a little kid but my folks never wanted me to get into modeling. When I was in my early 20s I competed in a beauty pageant. After the pageant someone in the audience approached me saying I should enter a cover model contest. I figured what’s the harm and entered. Several months went by and I heard nothing. I totally forgot about it when they magazine emailed me saying I’d won. A few weeks later I flew to New York to shoot the cover of the magazine, with photographer Steve Azzara. I had such an amazing time and felt so glamorous I decided to peruse it when I returned to Portland.

Who is your favorite local photographer to work with as a model?

If you had to describe your "look" what are the best three words to describe it? Vintage sex appeal
What is the biggest complete you have ever received regarding your work?
Having Maxim publish my work in august of 2012.
What is one thing about modeling you feel the public does not know or has the wrong perception?
That all models are tall and thin. I’m neither tall nor thin by model standards and I book lots of work as a lifestyle model and commercial actress.
What is a photograph that leaves you in awe and why?
I love this photo, by Miles Aldridge, because it is a beautiful social commentary of the way women in our society are consistently looking outside themselves to be what society tells us is beautiful.
If you had one piece of advice you would like to pass along to other inspiring models, what would it be?
This is a job; if you treat it like one from the start it’ll make you life so much easier.
