It's been an extraordinary journey. I have learned so much along the way. I entered the modeling industry as a business person already. I always knew I belonged on the other side of the camera.

Keep integrity and your work ethics intact. So what if that means working a little harder; an honorable character is your best calling card, and that's something anyone can have!

For me the question was, do I want my paycheck to be dependent on how other people think I look?

Don't just work for the money; that will bring only limited satisfaction

I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace.

I made the intentional choice to step behind the camera.

If you're not being rejected regularly - maybe you're not trying hard enough.
