I am a 36-year-old model from WA State. I started modeling when I was 32 years old. Although my age is older in comparison to most aspiring models I have been very blessed with success in the industry. Modeling is something I decided to get into after participating in the South Sound Wedding show where I discovered how much I like to dress up and look pretty in front of the camera. When I am not modeling I am a pretty down to earth plain Jane that does not wear makeup so modeling is a creative outlet for me. I have met and worked with some great people along this journey and I feel blessed.
