THE TRIPLE PISTOL Though she is a celebrity, she is also human. With that come personal boundaries that she won’t compromise on.

This decision weighed heavily on her and an emotional side opened up. “The role 12 Carolina Fitness Magazine was kind of a dream come true. But I didn’t get into this business to be famous, it happened organically. There were some contingencies in the contract that I just couldn’t get past. That was a deal breaker for me. I’m not a reality TV star. Fame is a byproduct of what I do. It didn’t align with my having control of what I say and how I’m perceived.” Where one door closes, another opens…or several as in her case. She has had an opportunity to audition for Dancing with the Stars, movie roles, being the subject of photo shoots, ad modeling, competing in the American Open, trying out for the Grid, hosting Rush Club Nation, and competing in CrossFit competitions. She will be hosting beach model volleyball in Miami in February. She’s even traveling to New Zealand in the spring. She has a lot of things lined up.
