Hey, great to see you on here. How did you find out about us?

I found out about Tunerzine from my boyfriend because he has a show car and we both attend many car shows together, so we both thought it would be a fun site to get on to.

How did you get started in modeling?

I started modeling when I was little for Nordstrom Kids. When I got older they said I was too petite to pull-off modeling the junior line, so I stopped. Through high school I was in front of the camera a lot, being in musicals, a cheerleader, and being in the choir, so I knew I was photogenic. When my boyfriend bought his car, he decided he wanted to show it, and he brought me with him to his first show which was VIP Auto Fashion/HIN LA combined. I was asked to model on some motorcycles, and it all blew up from there...I realized this was something I really wanted to pursue. So my boyfriend bought me a domain name and made me a website, now while his car is in the shows, I'm in booths signing my pictures, taking photos with fans, and participating in bikini contests.

What do you like most about being a model in the industry?

I love feeling appreciated, adored, and "famous". It's nice to know that I've made an impact on so many people...and when someone recognizes me and is excited to be in a picture with me, it makes it all worth-while.

What do you like the least?

There isn't really anything I DON'T like about being a model for the car-scene. I love every minute of it. I will say that there is some tough competition, which isn't a bad thing - there are so many beautiful girls out there so I'm honored to be recognized.

Who do you look up to?

Have you made any friends since you've started modeling in the industry? I have made many friends; photographers, models, celebrities...I really look up to Jessica Burciaga, Lisa Fleming, and Ursula Mayes - to name a few.

What's your favorite car? What do you currently drive?

My favorite car is honestly my Bug. I drive a fully-loaded lime green 2000 VW Beetle GLX Turbo. I'm almost done paying it off - so I want to save up my money after that to trick it out, but I might just go for the new pink convertible Bug.

We hear you're from sunny Southern California, how do you like living out there?

I love it here...it's where I've grown up and I don't plan on moving anytime soon. The weather is always amazing. When it rains it's a big deal - the talk of the town. While the rain is nice, the sun isn't too bad either. The thing that does drive me nuts though, is when people ask if I've met the people from the shows "The O.C.", "Laguna Beach", "Newport Harbor" and "Real Housewives of Orange County" - like they're celebrities or something. I went to school with lots of them, am friends with some, and I see those people everywhere, and it's really no big deal to me...it's just funny when people hear I'm from O.C. they get all excited hahaha.
Where do you see yourself three years from now? What do you hope to accomplish?

While the future is not certain, I do plan to make the best of every opportunity and seize every moment like it's my last. I am very busy with school, my "real" job, and modeling (which WAS just a side thing)...I also do hair and makeup for weddings, special occasions, model shoots, etc...so I guess my goal is to be the multi-tasker that I am and always will be, and fit as many life-changing opportunities I can into my busy schedule. I do dream though of gracing the pages and covers of some major car magazines such as PASMAG, Import Tuner, Super Street, Modified, and DSport, to name a few. We'll just have to see what happens, won't we

Thanks for taking the time, any closing words?

Thank you Tunerzine for giving me this opportunity! It is both a joy and an honor to be associated with you and I am proud to say I'm a Tunerzine-girl!

Thank you to all my fans, my wonderful family, my boyfriend/manager, my friends, and everyone else I've met and had the pleasure to work with...without you all I would be nothing - and I assure you I will not let you down!
