How did you get into modelling and how old were you when you started?

I got into modelling about 3 years ago when I was about 22 years old. I was street scouted in Los Angeles at my friends music show. It was a late start into the career, as a lot of people start in their teens, but I would say it was for the better.

There definitely has not just been one shoot that has been my favourite! I've modelled for such a great mixture of clients. I love meeting and connecting wth new people. When I go our of the country, it is just such a different experience than modelling at home.

There are sooo many good gems out there that I would love to work with, I wouldn't know where to begin!!   [caption id="attachment_2107" align="alignnone" width="2835"] Jumper | LNDR[/caption] If you were not modelling, what do you think you would be doing? Living off the land and gardening in Northern California.Where were you born? I grew up in Chicago and have lived in California now for almost 9 years. I loved growing up in Chicago and making my way to the west coast. I wasn't surrounded by Hollywood or fame growing up in Chicago which really made me the person I am today!

Man, oh man - such beautiful living over there. [caption id="attachment_2110" align="alignnone" width="2835"] Jumper | LNDR[/caption] Do you have a favourite Beauty product you could recommend? Hyaluronic Sea Serum by OSEA - anything really by OSEA! It's the only brand I really user unless I make the product myself. I try to stay all natural with the products I use but it can be hard when modelling and others aren't in the same boat yet!
