If you’re looking for a place where paradise meets luxury and overwhelms you with tranquillity, serenity, and some major island indulgence, Karma Resort in Koh Samui – our host location for this month’s Destination MAXIM tour – is the Thailand getaway for you…
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I originally grew up in a small town in Indiana USA. Although I had great memories growing up I always felt out of place and yearned for a more exciting lifestyle. As I grew older, I always had a passion for arts and fashion, and I knew that’s what I wanted for my life. Once I graduated high school, I attended college for Fashion Marketing at the Art Institute of Indianapolis. At my college’s annual fashion show, I ended up meeting my first agent who brought me into modelling. I started doing local jobs and travelling to other cities. Shortly after, I ended up moving to NYC to take my career to the next level. This led me into the next chapter of my life and discovering who I really am.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I’m actually a really down-to-earth person. Behind all the glam I’m just a small-town girl who also enjoys the little things in life. People sometimes think when they first meet me, but once I feel comfortable there are so many sides to me that you may not expect. I’m actually a very complex person.
Describe your Destination MAXIM Thailand experience.
This was one of the most unique trips I’ve ever taken. This was my first time to Asia and Koh Sumai is such a beautiful place. The Karma Resort was absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable, and I got to experience so many things I don’t normally get to in the city. I got to be up close with nature and unique wildlife, and had so much fun and experienced new things, while also working. The whole team was such a pleasure to work with and so talented and I loved meeting the other models and connecting with new people.
