PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE June 2015 Big Sexy Summer Issue | Page 113

We had a very active photo shoot. How do you stay in model shape? I have always been known as “the energizer bunny” and been very active my whole life. I work out 3-4 times a week and maintain a healthy diet with the occasional splurge here and there ;) Pilates is a huge passion of mine and a staple in my fitness routine. It keeps my curves toned and tight as well as helping me prepare for those long days on set. Being an international plus-size model, you are exposed to a lot of fashion. What brands/designers inspire you? What is your fashion aesthetic? The brands that really inspire me the most are Calvin Klein and Michael Kors. I think that the quality and integrity of their clothing remains constant. They both have a fresh and young look to them, and stay classy at the same time. Both labels have a large range of sizes, including plus sizes, and are wearable from both runway to ready-to-wear. Being a mom and working is challenging no matter what career you choose. How have you made it work as a model? My children are a priority no matter what. Luckily, I have had an amazing support team of family and friends to help me with the kids when I am not able to be there due to work.
