I feel I'm able to serve my customer by knowing what she or he wants. One of the ways I'm able to do this is through my website, and email: people give me great ideas, tell me what they want, what they don't want. It's really instrumental, and helps me stay in touch with people.

Modeling was another job like some of the other ones I had. Working as a cashier, I delivered newspapers, I worked in a retirement home feeding elderly people. . . so I never stopped and thought about, boy, I'm a successful model.

I was not making enough time to take care of me.

I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.

I intentionally built a business that has absolutely nothing to do with appearance.

I made the intentional choice to step behind the camera.

I believe there are three keys to success. For me it is keeping my priorities in order: It's my faith and my family, and then the business.
