College basketball was one of the hardest, most rewarding experiences of my life. Every single day on the court was a mental and physical challenge.

I got most of my confidence by having a mother who never said "I don't like this or this." It was just, "You've got to love what you have because it is the only body that has been given." I know that is where a lot of my confidence came from.

Some people might only recognize me half naked in my bikini and bra!

The sense of pride I take away from doing something I know will be inspire women to feel confident about their bodies.

I've learned a lot about fashion through modeling, but you know what they say, mother knows best. She used to tell me, "Your shoes, bags and belt better match before you walk out the door." I love her, but I don't necessarily agree with that advice anymore!

Basketball has taught me that no matter how unlikely something is, if you set a goal, and follow after that goal with all your heart, anything is possible.
