Her thoughts on modeling: "My first show was a hair and fashion show with Vivica Fox. I was nervous but managed it very well. After that, I liked what I was doing, so I continued to do some shows here and there.
I also did a couple of shows for David's Bridal. I was featured in a music video last December. Currently, I am the lead in a horror film called 'The Abduction,' which we have finished filming. I would like to expand my portfolio and gain more experience in the industry."

If her love life were a reality TV show, it would be called: "The Life of a Real Woman."

When she's not working: She enjoys baking.

What she thinks of the Philly dating scene: "To be honest with you, I don't go out much. But when me and my friends do go out, it seems like it's the same scenario - guys trying to get whatever girl pays attention
to them. Nine times out of 10, they are married with kids or in a relationship ... Philly is my home and I do love it here. If you want to be a good girl, Philly is the place to be."
