Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you do when you're not modeling?
When I'm not modeling I'm working the floors of the Psychiatric ER. I work with mentally ill patients who are going through an psychotic episode: homocidal, suicidal or mental trauma. I been working at the ER for over 6years its what i started doing before i got into modeling in 2010.  Lucky for me my employer allows me to work two double shift days back to back allowing me 5days off during the week. With such a schedule i get to not just model, but i also get to work on my hidden passion: music.  Keep your eyes and ears open for new material of my own as well as features in other artists tracks.

How did you get into the modeling industry?
By accident. Growing up I was the chubby tomboy kid so I never imagined doing what i do now? imagine the surprise factor it's had on my family, friends and myself. I was very shy but one thing was certain, i had a great personality. Once i blossomed into a young adult i started getting a lot of attentions, especially on social media outlet- Myspace. Who remembers that? [Laughs] I had as many followers as Tila Tequila and Somaya Reece, but i deleted my account bc i wanted to focus on school. When i got back onto social media i had my life together and decided to give modeling a whirl. A hobbies turned into a 2nd career.

What would you say is the biggest misconception about you?
The biggest misconception is that i'm a model looking to get wifed up by a rapper or athlete. I actually have turned down so many dates, my friends think I'm nuts. The truth is, I'm into regular men. Its hard already dealing with the spotlight, I need something in my life that can balance me out. Currently my job does that and romantically something less public will keep me happy. I also don't need a man to hold me down, I'm very independent and I take care of my own as well as that of my two retired parents who i do all this for.

What would you say was your greatest accomplishment in modeling? What would you say was your greatest accomplishment outside of modeling?
My greets accomplishment modeling would have to be signing with one of the biggest modeling agencies; Wilhelmina as a model and actress. The fact that they see the talent and want to back me up is so rewarding especially since everything you see in my resume has been booked and locked int through my own self.  I continue to break the negative stigma for "video vixens." We are all not just big booty girls looking to pop off  from someone else's merit.

Personally my greets accomplishment has been surviving a violent relationship that almost ended with my life. "Love" will make you do some crazy things.  I gave up  everything from my passion, friends, finance all to a  man who used and abused me. I almost lost my job at the ER, I walked away from my dreams. I lost myself. Breaking the silence was my way of breaking the cycle of control. And although it was hard to do, it saved me from never going back to him and in turn help others with a viral video I have on YouTube that has helped many men and women who are victims.

Who is your favorite Hip-Hop artist out now? Why?
Nas because he is a Virgo (just kidding). Lyrically the man is a genius and his flow is definitely his own. I'm an 80s baby so I remember hip-hop totally different than what it is now. It's great to see him doing his thing, we missed him for far too long.

Who is your celebrity crush, and why?
Tom Brady. There's something about his character. I don't know maybe its his swag, I truly think its not an act, genuinely what you see is what you get.

What are your biggest turn-ons?
Massages always and forever, I workout so my muscles get very sore plus I work 16hr shifts at the hospital so my feet hurt like hell. All that build up stress on my mind and body melts away with a full body massage.

What are your biggest turn-offs?
Bad breath, no bueno.

What qualities do you look for in a man?
A man who can make me feel special. I don't mean by feeding me compliments and taking me out to fancy places. Someone who can appreciate the woman that I am. Trust and respect me for what i do. Who understand i'm busy but who can value the time spent.  I guess a sweet balance between a manly man where I feel safe and a man in tune with his softer side so that I can be myself.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I have my eyes set on becoming a household name. I want to be up there with the Sofia Vergara and Eva Longoria. Both are women who ooze sex appeal but who have been able to cross over in avenues of entertainment and politics. I see myself entertaining with music, acting but I also see myself being a part of  domestic violence organizations.

What is a Fun Fact about yourself?
One is that I'm terrified of deer, (yup deer!)

Any advice you would give women trying to enter the modeling business?
Yes, never sell out. It will take longer and you will find  yourself wanting to give up but if you stay true to you no one can take anything away from you hard work and understand that nothing over night lasts. Have fun and rock out.
