Meet promising California model, finance student and workaholic, CASSANDRA SPENCER, who is all about happiness, confidence, independence and focussing on living her best life…
Hey, Cassandra, welcome to MAXIM. How do you feel?
I am so grateful and excited for this opportunity! MAXIM was one of the things that first inspired me to start modelling and it has always been one of my goals to be published with you. I am so thankful.
When do you feel sexy and what is your best asset?
Getting all dressed up and wearing heels makes me feel sexy. As for my best asset, well, I hope that everything works together to be complimentary.
Tell us a little more about yourself, your background and life story so far.
I’m a California girl who enjoys travelling, modelling, working out, being outdoors, being on-the-go and eating spicy food. I went to beauty school a few years ago and am now going to school to complete my degree in finance.
When you’re not posing for MAXIM or studying, what else would we find you doing in your everyday life?
I keep busy between school and two jobs, as well as working out on a regular basis.
What do you dislike about social media platforms?
The haters. Unfortunately these types of behaviours sometimes go along with the industry. I try to stay in my own lane, focus on my own life and what brings me happiness, be confident in myself and not let it get to me.
Would you ever date one of your followers?
I am very selective, but maybe – just depends on the person.
What do you look for in a man?
Confidence is important.
How can a man possibly win his way to your heart?
By being himself, being confident and independent and focused on living his life.
Describe your ideal date.
Spending time with someone I care about is enough. I’ve never been overly focused on material possessions or the superficial.
What have you learnt about men over the years?
I have learnt to strive to maintain a sense of kindness and understanding in relationships. I think that’s important and rare to find these days.
What’s one thing men should always know about women?
Be selective in choosing a woman. Look for value and depth.
As our Woman of the World, where’s the best place you’ve travelled?
I have been fortunate to travel to many amazing places, so it’s hard to choose just one. I went to Bimini, in the Bahamas, a few years ago which was gorgeous. I also enjoyed a cruise I took to South America, Central America and Mexico.
Nice! Where would you travel to next?
I have never been to Asia, so I would love to go someplace there. Lately, I have also been wanting to travel somewhere in Europe again.
Have you ever been to Australia?
I have not, but I have always wanted to travel there! I’ve heard it is beautiful and I definitely plan on visiting someday.
What’s one thing you would change about the world?
Some of the recently-occurring events in the past few years had me thinking more about how sad it is that we still see, and so many experience, racism in our world today.
What’s next for you?
I want to advance as much as I can in this industry. I am always on the lookout for new opportunities and have some collaborations coming up, as well as some ideas for publications. I’m excited to see what is in store for me in the future. Stay tuned! ■
