PICTORIAL

Tell us something surprising about you? I’m going to trucker school right now to get my Class A license! I wanted to add another skill set to my arsenal for stunt work and ultimately, I’d love to flip over a semi-truck in a movie like in the Dark Knight! I took a precision driving course with the stunt coordinator who made that all happen! Super cool stuff!

Describe yourself in three words. Quirky, Bold, and Fearless

Why did you choose to pursue a career in modeling? I remember when I was a little kid, finding my older brother’s Maxim Magazine with Christina Aguilera on the cover, & just feeling in awe of how sexy she looked (even though I don’t think I understood what the word ‘sexy’ meant yet) and I knew I just wanted to be part of THAT when I grew up.

What are some of your hobbies? I love riding motorcycles, horses, and...men! haha.

Were you excited to shoot for Playboy? Duh! Every time I work with Playboy is like a dream come true. It’s such an iconic brand that has featured so many beautiful, talented, badass women! I feel honored to be a part of the Playboy family.

What would you consider to be your biggest challenge as a model so far? It’s definitely challenging to not compare yourself to others, especially with all the plastic surgery. When you’re constantly around a bunch of stunning young women in an industry with incredibly high beauty standards, you really have to do the self-work to remember that you are unique and no one can replicate what you have to offer. Before auditions, I like to put on some super sexy lingerie, blast some good music, look in the mirror and dance. I say “You’re awesome!” and really hype myself up. 10/10 recommend!

What’s one of your favorite movie roles that you’ve played? Oo this is tough because I’ve done so many indie movies that I really loved, but ultimately I’m going to say the role of Candy in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Working alongside Vince Gilligan and Aaron Paul and so many talented people on location was just such a cool experience. Vince let us really play with the characters and improv which always makes shooting that much more fun, too!

Turn-ons? Motorcycles and tattoos of course! I love a blue-collar guy that’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. Someone with confidence and also kindness. Motivated, a good listener, tips the service staff well, and loves to shower me with attention!

A guilty pleasure? I work really hard and am constantly shooting, taking classes, training, studying, and reading. I work as an actress, stunt performer, and model so I’m always on the go so my guilty pleasure is definitely those little moments when I can take some time off to just sit on my couch naked eating Nutella out of the jar with a spoon while watching some crazy reality tv. Don’t Judge Me!

What is your favorite word in any language and what does it mean? Pizza! because you can order it in any country by just saying ‘pizza’ and they’ll understand you and give you food (hopefully haha).

Do you feel more like a city person or a country person? Oo this is hard because I definitely grew up more country down in southern Illinois and I love shooting guns, riding dirt bikes, and camping, but now I live in Los Angeles and I love going to the theatre, being able to order sushi delivery at midnight if I want to, and staying at swanky hotels. I think I’m equal parts southern belle and city slicker!

Which song is absolutely certain to make you cry whenever you hear it? That Sarah McLachlan song- In the Arms of an Angel- that they play on those ASPCA commercials with all the little poor doggies and kitties. I want to rescue all the animals! I have 2 dogs and a cat that I love with all my heart. I wish I could have 100, but that might make my 1-bedroom apartment a little stinky.

What is your mantra? “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I’m all out of bubble gum.”
