Where are you from, and how would you describe your life growing up?
I grew up in Wheeling IL. My life growing up was different. My parents were separated so I saw
my dad every other weekend. My mom was remarried and I had a new older stepsister and two
younger half brothers. I grew up loved even through the hard times.
How did you find your way in front of a camera, modeling?
I started working for Tilted Kilt in Schaumburg when I was 19 and that’s where I met REW, my
photographer.
What do you like best about being a model?
Being able to be myself and smile and laugh but also be serious and seductive. Its an art.
I’ll bet you’ve got a lot more going on, girl, than just a pretty face. Besides modeling what is the
most important thing in your life? Do you have any unusual talents?
The most important thing in my life is myself, I recently lost my best friend and ive had to learn
to love myself and find me again, loosing a relationship in the process but sometimes you have
to be selfish to take care of yourself. Im a bartender and im good at making new cocktails. I
made the entire drink menu for one of my old bars.

We all need support in life. Where do you get your support? What or who inspires you?
I get my support from my family and friends, especially my mom. She also supports me to no
matter what my decision is even if she doesn’t agree with it. My best friend inspires me,
everything I do is for her, I just hope she is looking down and is proud of what she sees.
What do you think is the most challenging thing about modeling and what advice would you give
to new models?
The most challenging thing for me is how to position your body so it doesnt look awkward but
you just have to be natural, do what feels right. Act like the camera isn’t there.
What is your favorite way to relax? What do you do for fun?

I love to read. I get a glass a of wine and a good romance novel and curl up on my couch with a
blanket and that’s my happy place. I love the gym. Its just a stress reliever and I find it really fun
to do different lifts and exercises.
You look amazing. What do you recommend for those wanting to keep in shape?
Set a goal and plan what you need to do to get there. If your trying to lose weight, cardio is your
best friend but if your trying to gain weight, like me, lifting and carbs are for you.
What would you consider your strongest attribute? What do guys compliment you most
on?
Everyone always compliments me on my eyes. I love them myself as well. Im also very open
and people tend to feel comfortable telling me their secrets.
What do you think is the best thing about a man?
If he can make you laugh without even trying, that’s sexy.
Anything about your heritage, ethnicity, or nationality that you feel people would like to know?
I love food and to talk. Im Greek, german and Italian so its in my blood to always eat and talk.
Please share something about yourself that may surprise others. What is the most adventurous
thing you have ever done?
Smoked a blunt while walking around navy pier in broad daylight.

What are your dreams and goals and ambitions?
My goal is to be a neonatal nurse. I want to be married by 30 and have 4 kids and two dogs.
If you were in a magical machine that could transport you to any place and time imaginable,
where would you love to be? Why?
Colorado, 4 years from now. Because then I would know if im supoosed to be following my
heart or my brain. And I love Colorado.
Are you a naughty girl, or a nice girl 😉 ?
I can be both, depends on how you act ;]
Please share a guilty pleasure with us. Your naughtiest fantasy?
I love being tied up and choked.

What’s one thing about yourself that everyone should know?
That im one of the most nonjudgemental people ever. I will never judge unless you show me

that I should.

Do you go to college? What do you study?
I do, I study nursing.

Do you have any favorite quotes that you would like to share?
Everything happens for a reason.
How are you celebrating this 4th of july independance day ? what freedom you want as a model
? I don’t have any plans. As a model, you should have the freedom to do what you want and
don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
What does being published in this Modelz View magazine mean to you?
It means that someone saw something in me that not many do. I struggle with self esteem
issues so if someone thinks that im pretty enough to be in a magazine. That amazes me and
makes me feel so proud.
