I'm sure you go on shoots often, how did you like Urban Injun's shoot?
I loved Urban Injun's shoot, it has been one of my best experiences. The location was unique and I love the energy from everyone at U.I.

Modeling has done well for you?
Yes it has, I started out not too long ago just as a side job between my desk job and attending college. It seems to be working out pretty well, perhaps I may do it full time one day.

What do you do in your free time?
I usually read, listen to music (I love music), sing, or go on myspace in my free time.

You all of a sudden became affordable to all our parking lot pimps. Give a name to your style.
I like to wear anything that makes me look good, cuz if I look good, I feel good. Basically anything that accentuates my better features.

Do you have a crowning achievement?
Two other friends and I won a talent show doing salsa to a Ricky Martin song... haha.

What makes you different from another model? Why do you think somebody would choose you?
I have a lot of self-awareness and a lot of self-control when it comes to being disciplined with my body. There are things you are born with and things you must learn, I believe I was born with a passion and talent in art, and modeling is art to me.

Which do you like doing better: print or runway?
I prefer print, because I am usually too short for runway.

Being young and living in Phoenix, we've got to see you around, right?
Well I work and attend school full time (both FT) so I go out perhaps once a week. You can find me at: The sets, Next, Suede, Pussy Cat Lounge, Sky Lounge, The Chop Shop, Barcelona, or IO. I am pretty much down to check any hip-hop spot out though.

Getting back to off-camera stuff…do you have some quirky obsession? Like stamp collecting?
I have a fetish for hoop earrings, I love hoop earrings.

You must have gotten a lot of attention in the first grade. Ya know, back then if a boy liked you, you usually got a punch in the arm from him to get your attention. Next thing you know you're getting a kiss by the monkey bars. Now that you are older, what does a guy have to do?
He has to be charming and confident but not too egotistical. He must be intellectual in some way and always strive to be better. He has GOT to have a job, and if no job at least be in school doing SOMETHING. I also find it very sexy when a guy has some type of hobby or sport or something that he is very good at.

So looks don't matter too much nowadays? Working backwards, you'd hope that the guy with the personality you like looks like…
I like them tall, well at least 5'9... cuz I gotta be able to wear heels. I love anything unique about the eyes, whether it be the color, shape, or lashes. A nice body, lean or thick whatever fits. I love any style that it unique or clean.

What advice do you want to give to other aspiring models?
Sometimes the overly used phrases are overly used because they are so true: Follow your dreams cuz' the sky is the limit.

Any comments for the UI Crew?
Keep doing your thing. You guys are wonderful and very talented. I look forward to doing more work together.
Photos coming soon!
