What kind of modeling do you specialize in? “I’m a jack of all trades! but I enjoy swimwear/lingerie/ & fashion the most!”
What was your greatest accomplishment in your modeling career? “Oh tough one!! you know I’d have to say as far as accomplishments I think the growth alone has been my biggest accomplishment, being in the modeling industry has taught me more about myself and really pushed me in ways I don’t think I would’ve done without the opportunities I’ve been given.”
What special things do you do to keep your beauty? “Drink lots of water!!! water is my favorite beauty secret!!” 😉
Now since you will be a Mommy, will you be still model? “I’m on Hiatus for now, and probably will be for a while, mommy-hood is an all new exciting adventure that I want to give my full focus and attention to!”
Do you think it will be easy to juggle modeling and mommy-hood? “Once I decide to get my feet back in the water, I think it’ll be like juggling any other profession with motherhood, only at least in this industry we have more flexibility creating our work schedules”
Do you have some tips or ideas to make modeling easy while having baby? “hmmm I guess since I’m going to be new to all of this, I’ll have to take it all day by day, I think modeling will be the easy part, being a mommy is a full time job, maybe if my little one is interested in the modeling world I’ll shift to managing mode opposed to being in the spotlight, after all, My new number one position is to be this little one’s personal cheerleader in whatever they are passionate about :)”
Is there a special diet or excersise routine you will be doing? “Well I’m naturally thin & blessed with fab. genetics when it comes to my metabolism so I eat as I please- though I have pretty healthy food habits! I do love jogging along the beach and turning my rock-out sessions to my ipod into mini- workouts, I cant stand a boring workout!”
Will you take your baby to jobs or photo-shoots? “I honestly haven’t thought that far ahead yet ha ha, I still have baby fever right now”
How soon do you think you will be back in the modeling world? “ahhh…. well I guess that depends on how quickly my little body bounces back after this, 6 months to a year? hmmm if i go back at all? lol aha who knows what the future holds for me.”
What are some special things you do to have a peace of mind? …. grab a good book, a box of gourmet chocolate truffles & get lost in heaven, hmmm just the thought relaxes me!!
What are your future goals? So many of my goals change on a regular basis, but one thing is always constant… to pursue happiness, and I find that by taking care of my wants as they change and going after what I’m passionate about, I always find myself truly, unbelievably happy 🙂
