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.
