RTFOTO:  What inspired you to become a model?

I just kinda fell into my lap.  I was a tom-boy, and never really thought I'd be a model, and then I grew out of that stage, took some photos, and liked doing it.  Then it all grew from there!  The more I learned about modeling, the more I fell in love with it.
RTFOTO: How would you describe your style in fashion?

Casual but sexy.  I like classic styles, especially looks from the past that come back hotter than before!
RTFOTO:   How many years have you been doing what you do?

Going on 9 years now.
RTFOTO:  If you could do one thing different growing up, what would that be?                  

Nothing.  I love my life and don't regret anything, it only makes you second guess yourself.  I believe in moving forward despite any situation and making the best out of it. 
RTFOTO:  What drives you to continue doing what you do?

My love to entertain and becoming a role-model for other girls and women like me.  I have a lot to share but no one will listen unless they look up to you, so being in the media all the time helps me to reach out to others.
RTFOTO: What do you like best about the modeling industry?

I get to meet lot's of cool people.  I've met some of my best friends in this industry, and one of my favorite people, Russel T. along the way!
RTFOTO:  What don't you like about the industry?

It's a very fast pace, and I'm a very casual laid back person.  If you're not quick and strong enough to keep up, you get caught up in everything and lose yourself.  Sometimes, good people change and that makes me sad.
RTFOTO:  If you weren't doing what you do today, what would you be doing?

Going to school to study health and business.
RTFOTO:  Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Still learning and working hard in this industry, with a makeup line on the side, and my main goal to have a thriving Foundation for Single Mom's that need motivation and make-overs!       
RTFOTO:  What is a good day like for you?

My daughter telling me that she loves me makes my day WONDERFUL!
RTFOTO: What embarrassing moment have you had in your career?

So far I've been lucky and nothing's gone wrong yet, but you never know what the future holds!
RTFOTO:   What would you say is the most difficult part of your job?   

Being away from home all the time.  I'm a local girl through and through, so no matter where I go, home is where my heart is.               
RTFOTO:  What was your most happiest moment in your career? 

Winning Miss Congeniality at the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Int'l Pageant.  It meant so much to me to know that I was loved and touched all the other girls' lives in one way or another.  There's nothing more rewarding than being noticed for your good character and aloha.    
RTFOTO:  What makes you different from your peers?

Nothing much really.  I'm a normal, down to earth girl that likes to have fun, be with my family and give to others.  My occupation is really the only thing that I like to say makes me different.
RTFOTO:  If you could pick any city to live in other than the city you are currently in, what city would that be and why? 

None.  I love my home town.  When I make mega bucks, I want to build a home on the beach here in Waimanalo.               
RTFOTO:  What advice can you give to those aspiring what you do?

Stay true to yourself, and never give in to a job just because of the money.   And never, never give up.  If it's your calling, believe in yourself no matter what, 
RTFOTO:  What is your message to teens today?

Find a career that you love and want to do every morning when you wake up.  I love what I do because it's waht I'm best at and it's rewarding to me.  Never give in to drugs or alcohol, it's not worth it.
RTFOTO:  If you had the power to change the world, what would you do?

Take away greed.  I believe that money is the root of all evil and leads people to make decisions they wouldn't normally make if money wasn't inolved.
RTFOTO:  What was your experience working with Russell Tanoue?

Russel has motivated me in so many positive ways.  When I first got started in modeling, I almost quit because I saw fake people and friends competing with one another, and nothing good.  But then I met Russel and saw someone with a passion for what he does and for helping people and that inspired me to keep going and to want to achieve my goals.  He helped me stick with it and stay focused. 
RTFOTO:  Finally, tell me something about you I don't know about?

I don't know, my life story has been a pretty open book lately.  Something that I'm thoroughly proud of is the fact that I've never tried drugs or cigarettes in my entire life.  No one's really asked me about that, so no one really knows.
RTFOTO:  Anything you'd like to say?

Thank you for thinking that I'm special enough to be featured here, and I hope to make everyone proud and do bigger, better things!  Thank's for all the love and support!
