Time to get more acquainted with this multi-talented events producer, real estate agent and medical student who loves all things sports, entertainment and travel…
Killer shoot, Cailin. What did you love most about it?
This shoot in particular was a pivotal one for me. I had a bit of a rough start to 2022 – I experienced many life changes in a short duration of time and was feeling discouraged, frustrated, sad and lacked self-confidence so much that I almost backed out of this shoot. However, I told myself I needed to get out there and try get myself back. The kind, loving, happy outgoing girl who everyone knows. So, my favourite part was working with a team who knew I could get out there and nail this shoot and it allowed me start feeling like myself again.
Nice one! When do you feel sexy?
Feeling sexy is a state of mind. There are a lot of factors that go into getting that mindset, but the most important is having good energy and feeling good about yourself — being happy with who you are. Yes, working out, eating heathy, wearing your favourite clothing and owning it contributes to sexiness. As women we are sold the story that sexiness is being a certain age or size, but I don’t buy it. Sexiness comes from within and it’s being comfortable with the person you are. Yes, a nice compliment from another human helps, maybe more so the ego, but I still feel you have to be in the right frame of mind.
What is your best asset?
My heart and my mind. Physical attributes do not last a lifetime but if you have a good mind and heart you will shine no matter what and set yourself apart from those who are only concerned with the physical.
Tell us a little more about yourself.
I have Scottish, German and Spanish heritage and was a tomboy growing up. I’m a California native who now works full-time producing exclusive experiences and events in the sports and entertainment industry. I’m a big sports fan who also has an immense amount of appreciation and respect for all things the music industry has to offer. I’m also a real estate agent in L.A. and a full-time student at UCLA pursuing a future career in medicine. Right now, I’m really focusing on my business career but also working for a start-up cryptocurrency company doing marketing and events for them. Safe to say I’m a busy girl and pride myself on my career. Modelling is just a fun little side hustle.
How long have you been modelling?
I was discovered on the beach by America’s Next Top Model at 18 and have pursued a career in modelling on and off since then. I definitely have taken extended breaks due to wanting to go to college or having some unexpected health issues, but I enjoy being in front of the camera, working with brands and most of all meet people on shoots – some have turned out to be great.
Where’s the best place you’ve ever travelled?
I love travelling in general, but I recently visited Switzerland and it was an amazing time – great people, food, culture and fun.
Where in the world would you love to travel to next?
Africa. I am absolutely dying to do a safari by horse back!
Have you ever been to Australia?
I have not but was planning to go in 2020, then the pandemic hit and my trip was unfortunately cancelled, but I would love to get there soon!
Besides koalas and kangaroos, what else do you know about Australia?
One thing I thought was a cool fact was that the Australian Alps get more snow than the Swiss Alps. I know that vegemite is the most popular Australian spread, too.
What do you look for in a man?
Intelligence and confidence are some of the most important qualities I look for in a man. I want a guy who is comfortable in his own skin, has it together and can hold an intellectually stimulating conversation. I’m also looking for a guy who has a good head on his shoulders and similar values as I do. A man who has emotional maturity and can show consistency, integrity and that he is passionate about things in life. A man who also supports my life and career goals because I know I will be encouraging him to follow his dreams and be his biggest fan.
How can a man possibly win his way to your heart?
Be different. Be brave and bold. Be funny. Be spontaneous. Be a kind human.
Describe your ideal date.
Anything active. I am an active person so playing a sport where you can showcase your competitive side and have fun with it is always good. A visit to an art installation where you can strike up interesting conversations about the work is also a huge plus. Even hitting up an amusement park or playing games that can allow you to let your hair down and have fun, laugh and release your inner child is a great way to spend a date. Active dates allow you to be real and not out so much pressure on being perfect.
What’s next for you?
Modelling wise I’m working on some fashion collaborations right now and I’m super pumped about them, but personally, I am just focusing on my career and personal work projects right now. ■
