PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE January 2015 Issue | Page 90

Tell us a little about yourself and how you got started as a model. I’ve been a plus model for 12 years now. I started in NYC where I got discovered while working in a high-end spa on 5th Ave. I took some time off to become a mother, and recently the agency MC2 in Miami has given me a second chance at modeling, which is something I love. Modeling for me is so much more than a job, it’s an example. As a mother I am teaching my boys to dare to dream, to go for it and to never give up. What have been some of your favorite experiences so far? In past years I have been able to work with great clients like Torrid, HSN, Perry Ellis, Harley Davidson and Macy’s. Last year I had my first opportunity to fly abroad to Hamburg, Germany and work with German client Otto, that was pretty special. What is your personal style aesthetic? I like to think my style is urban chic. City girl with feminine elegance but shows strength, edge and character. What fashion trends are you most excited about right now? Denim!!
