I’m a huge animal lover. I think I almost love dogs more than I
love people, and mine are particularly awesome. I have a pitbull
named Harley, and a toothless Chiweenie named Booger. I’ve had
a job since I was 14. I’ve been a lifeguard, a barista, a Starbucks

you how to watch your back and always be on your toes. Living
in a small town now helps me realize how awesome it was to
grow up around and learn about so many different cultures and
backgrounds. While Vallejo isn’t the most amazing city in the
world, for sure, I’m very thankful for having grown up in a place
that taught me diversity, acceptance, patience, and to respect
everyone despite any differences that may be between you.
If everyone looked and acted the same, the world would be
ridiculously boring, and no one wants that.
Have you always wanted to model? What made you say yes?

answer the, “what do you want to be when you grow up” question
honestly, but the answer was 95% of the time an actress. Kind of
strange for a shy person to want to be famous, but I’m kind of a
strange cookie, and
