What made you decide to enter the Face of Foothills Model Search?

After getting an email from Scottsdale Fashion Square about the Face of Foothills Model Search, I knew it would be truly great for me. When I read the requirements on the website, I was shocked that no one had to be a certain gender, age, or height. Not being as tall as a runway model, it's given myself the opportunity for a chance to achieve something I've always wanted to do. I wanted to enter because I read the magazine and love how classy and elite it is while covering all of Arizona's finest things it has to offer. This will be a great experience for me and will be a big door opener. I would love to look back when I am older and say that Arizona Foothills Magazine saw something in me that helped me in my career!

What is your history in modeling?

Although I have done a few photo shoots, I am new to this industry and have not had much experience in modeling.

What do you have coming up this year?

In the next few months, I'm going to be continuing acting classes, going to a concert, and spending time relaxing with my family and friends before junior year starts. I also want to travel as much as possible even if it's just small road trips.

What are your hobbies?

One of my favorite hobbies is to go shopping. I definitely have a passion for fashion! Fashion is a big part in my life and is something that I'm going to be involved in after high school. I love finding old music to listen to from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I danced for eleven years and although I am currently not dancing, it is still a hobby I enjoy. At school, one can always find me reading a new book. In school, I am in Yearbook; and because of this club, I've learned and have come to love photography, writing, and graphic design. I also enjoy traveling and cruising around town, seeing what the world has to offer.

Why do you think you're the best choice for the 2011 Face of Foothills?

I think I'm the best choice for the 2011 Face of Foothills because I have a lot of personality and I believe I'm a good candidate for someone my age. I want to show that even though I am young, I can pursue what I want to do just like anyone else. No matter what a person's age is, they can always follow their dreams and are NEVER too young to accomplish it!
