How discovered:
I actually sent in these horribly blurry pictures my boyfriend took of me (in the bedroom closet) to Elite. I told them I was interested in modeling and was looking for a mother agency in New York. I heard back almost immediately asking if we could Skype. I Skyped with the guys that handle all of my business now and they flew me to New York. I was instantly hooked when I met everyone at Elite and ended up signing!

Favorite things:
This is really hard to answer because I’m the world’s most indecisive human. I really like traveling and everything that comes along with it like going out to dinners, shopping, going to museums, etc.

What are you listening to at the moment?
BTSTU- Jai Paul (forever a favorite); Clair De Lune – Flight Facilities

Favorite movie, tv show:
My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing. I love all of the old classics. Right now I’m binge watching Orange is the New Black :)

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
My favorite fragrance is TokyoMilk Dead Sexy. Its really hard to find but I’ve been stuck on it for years.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
Before I became a model I was going to school and working as a full time nanny! I’ll probably just focus on finishing school after modeling. I’ve been thinking about studying psychology and find it really interesting!!

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I’m obsessed with crossword puzzles. I have all the apps and my PR for the daily mini is 32 seconds :) I do the NY Times Crossword in the newspaper every morning. It’s super nerdy but it’s so relaxing to me!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
I miss how quiet and calm Arkansas is. I live right in the Boston Mountains so whenever I’ve been away for a bit I return home and remember how beautiful it is.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I’d love to work with Alexander Wang… I’ve been obsessed with his clothes for years and lately I’ve been wearing his bags with everything! It all has such a tough girl feel to it so it fits my style well. I also love watching the Chanel shows because the settings are so unique… I’d kill to walk for Karl.

Place you would love to visit:
I really want to visit Italy. I love their food and would love to see all of the art and architecture. Rome and Venice are at the top of the list!

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’ve got really into cooking lately. I watch the Food Network all the time now lol. I think it would be a really nice quality to be a great cook so I’m trying to get really good at it.
