How did you get into cars and/or modeling?

My interest in cars started with two of my cousins. They both drove mustangs that I was really jealous of. I used to love riding in the car and the looks people would give us. My first car was a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. It was a car I used to admire and want when I was a kid and I was lucky enough to actually get that car. I ended up trading that car to get a Jeep Patriot which I drive currently and I find more practical since I like traveling a lot. I got into modeling a couple years back. It use to be something I did for fun with friends. My neighbor use to ask me to take pictures because he liked photography and I'd always say sure because I liked seeing the outcome. The pictures he took of me were what lead me to getting into more serious modeling. He helped me build a small portfolio which helped me build an even bigger one. I was really surprised and excited when I started to get offers for paid modeling jobs. I never imagined I would get to a point like that. Now I'm focusing on automotive modeling and trying to get into trade shows. I just started in this area of modeling and am excited to see where it goes!

What are your passions and dreams?

I have many passions and dreams. I am a huge animal lover and always knew I wanted to work with animals ever since I was a kid. I have stuck true to that and am now majoring in wildlife biology. I do a lot of research in my spare time, mostly on snakes. When I find a snake I usually take a picture and note the patterns, gender, coordinates, and behavior. I am hoping to put together a field guide for southwestern snakes but I've got to find each kind of snake that lives in this area first, which could take many many years. In addition to snakes I am also very intrigued by bears and would love to study them as well. I also am a big outdoors enthusiast, I love hiking, camping, boating, and kayaking. I grew up on a lake so anything on the water I love. My dream is to of course become a wildlife biologist. Right now school is very hard and there are times that giving up feels a lot easier but I really don't want to give up on that dream.

If you could own one vehicle, which would it be and why?

If you could own any vehicle which one would it be? This is always such a hard question. I really love mustangs because of how customizable they are. It feels like you can really add your own touches and make it your own. I've seen so many different varieties of them and it's so interesting because it shows the drivers personality. I also really like Jeeps again because they are so customizable.

What vehicle/s do you own? What modifications do you have? What are the plans?

I currently own a 2011 Jeep Patriot with no modifications. I do however have A LOT of stickers on the back... I collect stickers whenever I travel so it shows where the car has been. I plan on selling it eventually to get a Jeep Wrangler, but for now I am content with the Patriot.

What do you feel is the best thing about yourself?

I think the best thing about my self is that I have determined and have a good heart. When I want something it is very hard to change my mind. I will keep going at it until I get it. I like earning things on my own and don't like asking for help, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask. I have a good heart which causes me to get upset by things a lot easier. If I see someone upset it tends to make me upset with me. I don't like seeing people like that and if I can help them in any way I try. I also tried fostering at an animal shelter because I wanted to make sure that the animals had a place if they needed it.

What is something that people would never guess about you?

People would never guess that I am actually Middle Eastern. They just always assume I'm of Hispanic decent. I've never had someone accurately guess my background. I am also a vegetarian of 5 years but people who knew me growing up would know that.
