InkSpired Magazine Issue No. 32 | Page 28

First off, tell me how you were “discovered” and how your modeling career started. A girlfriend of mine introduced me to Todd Weinberger, who at the time was Creative Art Director for Inked Magazine. He reached out to me after that night and got me set up with a photographer they work with in Los Angeles, makeup artist, hair stylist, and wardrobe. This was my first professional photo shoot and it was published in the November/December 2013 issue of Inked Girls Magazine. Thank you Todd! After the magazine went to print, other people started to reach out to me with photo shoot inquiries. Was modeling something you aspired to be growing up or was it something that just “happened?” I definitely had an interest in modeling as a young girl, but it just didn’t seem like a practical goal. At the time, I was mainly concerned with going to school and working. Modeling was not something I ever pushed for, but it happened anyway and I am glad things worked out the way they did!
