Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m from a small, backwoods town in Texas, USA. I love the outdoors and the water and my favourite accomplishment to date would be being a mother of two.
Any funny anecdotes you can share about this trip?
Hands down the diversity between the Australian, New Zealand and American accents. On the first day upon arrival, my roommate and I were given a tour of the villa by our photographer (Rocky is a Kiwi) and during the tour he kept pointing out excitedly about “the “dicks” everywhere. Laughing, I voiced my confusion and the photographer explained he was saying, “DECKS”.
What is your best asset?
I get a lot of compliments on my smile and my bronze, tanned skin. Beyond my beauty, I would say most people like my fun, spontaneous approach on life.
What would you do if you weren’t modelling?
I have been modelling for almost 10 years but if I wasn’t I’d be in the medical field.
What do you look for in a man?
Tall, funny, nice teeth, good overall hygiene, steady career, someone who can protect and an all-round, southern, sweet-tea-drinking gentlemen.
What have you learnt about men over the years?
All men aren’t the same – some manipulate better than others.
What is the freakiest thing someone has sent you via social media?
For about five years I had the same guy make multiple accounts, on various social media platforms, trying to convince me to let him suck on my toes every day after a long day’s work.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I would rather be on the water, or out hunting, over being in a shopping mall any day.
