As a child, I was made fun of. They called me "monkey lips" and I really never fit in. My mother told me not to worry and that my full lips would be on the cover of Vogue someday. Well, maybe not Vogue, but they did make the cover of Minitruckin' Magazine.

I first started modeling at the age of 12. My parents thought that maybe modeling school would improve my self-esteem. When you are teased so much, sometimes you start to believe the insults because part of your self image comes from the feedback you receive from others.

I always felt like a total outcast amongst the kids at school, however I loved being in front of the camera and got a lot of experience early on.

Success is definitely the best revenge as long as it motivates you to do something positive for yourself. So that's how I got started in this business. I think it is really important to like what you do for a living and I absolutely love modeling.

At 19, I got my first paying modeling job. It was a poster for Jones Performance Fuel Systems. For this job, I had to hold this carburetor made by Holley. It was called the Dominator, and I remember that thing was sooo... heavy and I had to hold it still for practically forever. And they say modeling isn't work... The finished product was me (just my body) wearing a patent leather bikini holding the Dominator carburetor and the caption read, "Injection is nice, but I'd rather be dominated!".

I made an appearance at the Super Chevy Show in Pomona and signed autographs at the Jones Performance Fuel Systems booth. I was a celebrity for a day. I knew then that this was what I wanted to do.

Nevertheless, I always thought that someone was going to find me and wave their magic wand and make me famous. I know now that that is not how it works. The photographer from the poster, Jeff Tinnion, recommended me to McMullen Argus Publishing Company and I showed them my pictures. I got the job to be on the cover of Minitruckin' Magazine and from that I got to be in the Hot Bike and Street Rodder Calendars. It has pretty much snowballed from there.

Then I got my chance to appear on the boob tube (LOL!). I had a recurring role on the T. V. show WOW Women of Wrestling as Summer of the Beach Patrol. Not only can I model and act, I can kick butt too! =)

I got hired to work for WWE as a developmental contract wrestler but an unfortunate neck injury cost me my dream of ever making it on TV. I've since had a two level fusion by the same doctor that did Stone Cold Steve Austin's neck. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? I'm like the bionic woman now. My x-rays are a trip and a half!

I was in the Diet Dr. Pepper "Green Bay Watch" commercial which aired during the superbowl. Yes, I'm the one that gets hit in the head with a snowball, LOL! Its all in a days work ya know? *giggle* I've also appeared in Blues Travelers music video "Girl Inside My Head" and Kottonmouth Kings "King Klick".

I've appeared on the cover and pages of Muscular Development, American Curves, and Muscle Mag. My goal is to keep modeling for the fitness magazines and to get some more covers. I'd also love to do some more appearances on TV.

My reality show comes out very soon! You can get all of the updates on my career here:
