Where do you come from?
My nationality is 100% Italian, but I’ve lived in Basking Ridge, NJ my whole life. People who are familiar with the area always say how beautiful it is...and I agree. However, it’s a little quiet for my taste. I just might be looking for a new location.

What was it that made you pursue a career in modeling?
I was convinced by people around me that I should give it a try. When my family used to tell me that I could be a model, I figured they were just teasing me. But as time went on, I started hearing it from people I barely knew...and I started to think “Hey, they can’t all be wrong!” [laughs].

How did you get started?
Modeling sort of stumbled into my life. My current manager approached me online, asking if I would like to join her company...so I went on a test shoot, and the rest is history.

What kinds of modeling do you do, and which kinds are your favorites?
I am mainly a glamour and swimsuit model, however I’ve dabbled in fashion modeling, runway, television, and more. One of my favorite jobs is doing the ring cards for MMA and boxing events, because that means I get a front row seat to all the action!

What are some jobs you’ve done that you are most proud of?
I’ve modeled for Ed Hardy, and in turn got to meet Christian Audigier and Adam Saaks [all designers]. It was an amazing experience! I was Miss Howard TV for Howard Stern, I’ve been on Maxim radio, and I’ve appeared in catalogs such as Doxy Lingerie and The Red Door Store.

What do you hope to accomplish in the future?
I would love to continue modeling because I’ve made so many amazing friends in the industry, and I truly love being in front of the camera. I’m also working as a stylist, toward my ultimate goal of owning my own salon one day.

What about your personality makes you a good model?
I would say confidence...knowing what makes me happy and what I think looks good. You can’t let other people’s opinions influence your performance. Confidence leads to no inhibitions...and having no inhibitions leads to great shots. •
