Q: What was your funniest moment in your career?
A: Wow, that’s hard to pick just one. So many of them came from Leinenkugel’s shoots – going sledding in a canoe with all of us so committed to our pose and actions that we would never stop our sled/canoe from flipping over at the bottom of the hill, when trying to keep spirits and our expressions fun and happy the other models and I came up with code words to say that would make us all laugh and bring the emotion back into the shoot, my favorite was ‘prunes’ cracked me up every time.
What's some advice you'd give to other young inspiring models?
A: First of all know your look and where you fit into the industry and start working with photographers who can get you photos to support that look. Remember even when you have agents working for you, take responsibility for your career by take classes, practicing, always being ready to go from head to toe, doing test shoots, networking and keeping your head shot and resumes updated. YOU are your business; no one will ever care about it as much as you do. And don’t forget to thank the people who helped you get to where you are.
