I was born on November 3rd, 1977 in Los Angeles, California. I am the middle of three kids with an older sister and a younger brother. I was a shy child that had a hard time in social situations. I was never considered popular or one of the pretty girls in school. I spent a lot of my time in the backyard playing with my animals, climbing trees, and looking for bugs. You could say that I was a bit of a tomboy. I wasnt a normal child. I would rather watch National Geographic or read a book than watch cartoons. I wanted a microscope for Christmas when I was six and a chemistry set for my seventh birthday.
I moved to Orange County where I went to high school. I still was a quiet and shy girl that had a hard time making friends. I remember having one friend in high school and when she didnt come to school I would spend my lunch hour in the art room. Having to socialize was an awkward feeling for me and I was never really good at it. I never got asked out in high school. I went pretty much unnoticed.
I answered ads in the newspaper for modeling in October of 1999. I spent the next six months shooting for a variety of amateur sites.
I met Aimee Sweet and she took me to meet Suze Randall in Los Angeles. I shot with Suze a few times before she submitted me to Penthouse. Ten days after being submitted, I was being interviewed and two days later I shot the cover. It all happened so fast. I met Suze at the end of May and I was on the newsstands by the end of July in the September 2000 issue of Penthouse.
Things really took off after this. I have been working non-stop since. I have branched out to shoot with other models and photographers along with shooting different genres. Who knows what the future will hold though. I have a few ideas.
