We Asked:

— Who is your favorite entertainer?

Someone I really love is the late great D. Boon from one of my favorite bands, The Minutemen. He and the Minutemen made smart punchy and quick music that set them apart from their peers and changed how I listen to music. To this day I listen to them almost every day.

— How and when did you become a model?

About 3 years ago, a friend who was with Option told her agent about me and they contacted me through Instagram. Later that same day, I was at the Greek festival and coincidentally was approached by another scout from Option.

– Eggs are my favorite food, I eat eggs a lot; sunny side up for breakfast but poached in ramen is my number 1.
