2010

I started out in entertainment as a very young girl. Beauty pageants, dance recitals, theater, music lessons, chorus, gymnastics, cheerleading competitions, you name it!
My first "real" modeling job came when I was about 15 yrs. old. I modeled for my mothers vintage clothing book entitled "Psychedelic Chic." My mom has and always will be my biggest inspiration in life. A vintage clothing and antique jewelry collector of over 30 years, owning stores and writing books on all her treasured collectibles. I traveled around with her from store to store and state to state. My Dad was in the military, so I guess you can call me an Army Brat!

I learned a lot about fashion growing up, so I guess that's why I knew I wanted to be a fashion designer at the age of 13. Getting accepted into The Fashion Institute of Technology may have been one of the happiest days of my life! So I leave my small town of Hazleton Pennsylvania and pack my bags to head to New York City. While attending FIT and studying Fashion Design, I got approached to do acting and modeling jobs. I focused on getting my degree and pursuing acting/modeling once I graduated. And that's exactly what I did!

My favorite part of it all is the traveling and just doing something new every day. Modeling open many doors for me and brought me to many places I had never even dreamed of going!
