At
age two I started taking ballet, tap and jazz. I loved
to sing and dance and show off in any way possible (and
obviously still do!). Somehow, I found time to slip in
a year of baton too! Around my third grade year we all
moved to Waco, Texas, where a ton of my relatives already
lived.
My parents figured it would be safer to raise me in a
small town versus the big city (little did they know that
Waco was wacko!). Looking back, Waco was really boring,
but I'm sure I did have more freedom living there. Everyone
seemed to make the best of what the city had to offer.
Well, during
my senior year I had the opportunity to be in a video
for a local band. The producer of the project thought
that I should be in New York modeling and proceeded
to pitch the idea to my parents. That Christmas my family
and I ended up going to New York to have some pictures
taken and meet with some agencies. I was soooo nervous!
By the end of our trip I had an agent who was waiting
for me to graduate and move to the Big Apple.

That
was the beginning of me working with various magazines
and doing a bit of traveling. Amongst my travels I hit
such places as Japan, Paris, Milan, Australia, Taiwan
and Hong Kong. How lucky was I to get paid to travel and
see the world at the same time?! Finally, I made it back
to the good ol' USA. There really is no place like home!
After spending an awesome season in South Beach, Miami
I made my way out to LA.
I started
out with the Ford Modeling Agency and have since moved
to Elite Model Management. Within a couple of weeks
of arriving in LA I ended up booking a Taco Bell commercial.
Maybe it wasn't as scary as I pictured it after all!
In no time I had relocated to LA and joined an acting
class. I guess that was the beginning of the rest of
my life! Before I knew it I had met my soul mate and
started booking acting jobs. I have been fortunate enough
to have great people helping me with my career all along
the way.
