Do people recognize you when you’re out and about, like when you’re clubbing or shopping? Yes, very often.
What do they say to you? Do you like the attention? Some speak or just stare, but most of the time they compliment me. I’m used to the attention before modelling so it’s normal, but at times it’s scary because I don’t realize who’s watching.

What’s one thing about yourself that everyone should know? That I’m a strong believer in God, no matter what my lifestyle or job may appear to others.

What do guys compliment you most on? Most men give me compliments about my Eyes… But to the rest, my body!
Do you like the nerdy type, MMA fighter guy or the regular Joe? I like a regular Joe.
Really? So, what attracts you to a regular guy? One with a great personality.
Are you seeing anyone? Do we stand a chance with you? Yes, I’m in a relationship!
Do you have any secret weaknesses or guilty pleasures? I love chocolate-covered strawberries. To die for!
What’s your biggest turn-on? I love a guy with beautiful white teeth, a toned body, and he has to smell great!
Do you consider yourself more of a “giver” or a “taker”? I’m an overall giver because I believe in giving and receiving which keeps me blessed.

If you could have any car you wanted, what would it be? A Mercedes and I have one.
Do you have any hidden talents? I’m a Chef. (laughs)
