my last year of college I took a road trip to Miami and walked into every agency I could think of!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nI was a HUGE beach bum when I lived in Miami so I&#8217;m always first in line for a beach trip. I love to travel as much as possible, play video games on my days off and spend time with my dog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite music, band:<\/strong><br \/>\nI love a lot of different genres of music so this is always so hard to answer; I will listen to anything from trap music to neo soul. Lately, I&#8217;ve been listening to PartyNextDoor, Michael Jackson, Sade, Drake, Erykah Badu and Incubus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nGame of Thrones is my ultimate life addiction as far as TV series but  I can watch Transformers, Finding Nemo or Harry Potter any time and be completely happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nI am a little all over the place as far as which designers I&#8217;m obsessed with but my fragrance will always be Flower by Kenzo. I&#8217;ve worn that since I was in middle school and it doesn&#8217;t get old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore I became a model I worked for the Navy and was offered my position after college, which I would have loved to accept but modeling was calling my name. I have so many things I want to do during my modeling career and after I can&#8217;t keep up. All I know is that I want to give back to the world in anyway whether it be working with our youth, helping animals or just trying to persevere nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am a huge World of Warcraft and Diablo fan which is where the WoW  comes from in my IG name =)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nI got an amazing opportunity to shoot in the Maldives for Otto riding a horse through the beautiful Indian Ocean. It was epic. I think the most publicity I&#8217;ve gotten was walking for Project Runways season finale during fashion week last summer where I met Zac Posen, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn. And of course, my casting call for Sports Illustrated!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe best thing about my hometown are the crabs!!! I would die for a crab cake or blue crabs with ole bay and a ice cold beer&#8230; Delicious!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would love love love to work with Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nI would love to visit Egypt, I&#8217;ve always been infatuated with their culture, art and architecture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI just made a huge move from Miami to New York so honestly I&#8217;ve been focusing on getting my apartment situated.
