I was discovered: In a “Miss Auto World” contest by a judge who was an agent for Eleanor Fulcher Modeling agency.

I am currently working on: My passion in photography, editing, graphic arts and on camera presentation.

My best feature is: My smile.

I’m beautiful because: I have a lot of love in my life. My beautiful family and friends.  

My favorite thing to wear: Is an alluring scent.  My go-to fragrances are Womanity by Thierry Mugler, Gucci Guilty, Flowerbomb by Victor&Rolf. I mix all my fragrances with Olbas oil to make them individual and unique.

My beauty routine is: Noxzema morning and night as a face wash.  Witch hazel as a toner.  Nuxe facial cream, Burt’s Bees Royal Jelly all over and lip balm by Carmen.

My health routine: Working out 3 days a week and stretching daily.

My secret to staying youthful: Consists of a lot of water, love, laughter. Also a really good attitude goes a long way.

The best tip/trick I use to flatter my curves is: To accentuate the best part of my body.  Layer my clothing specific to my best body part. I love to accentuate my legs with snug fitting legging and jeans.  I also wear sheer flowy blouses with a well fitted blazer to create a sexy sleek look.

My advice to budding plus size models is:  To believe in yourself, be yourself, own it and show it.  Remain humble and grateful.

I get into the zone while shooting by: Using music, fantasy and feeling to get in the zone.  

My curvy style icon is: Marilyn Monroe, her curves are epic!

My favorite places to shop: is Aritzia, Anthroplologie and ASOS.

Favorite style blog: is Anna Dello Russo’s.

Any noteworthy upcoming projects? I’m am currently working on building my images in my portfolio.
