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

I entered in the Face of Foothills Model Search because I feel like its a very well-run and nonjudgmental competition, based on more personality than looks.

What is your history in modeling?

I am currently modeling for The Agency Arizona and have been since February of 2009, but I graduated and plan to move to New York City. I signed with MMG in March and am anxious for the jobs it'll bring me.

What do you have coming up this year?

My plans for the rest of 2010 are to graduate high school, take a few summer trips, move to New York City and attend school in the city. In 2011 I just hope to continue my career goals and stay motivated for what is to come.

What are your hobbies?

A few hobbies I enjoy are traveling, shopping, playing the piano, yoga, running, and cooking.

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

I think I would be the best choice for the 2011 Face of Foothills because I feel my natural look and motivation would help continue the goals set by Arizona Foothills Magazine.
