What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
Interior designing/decorating residences (well on my way to achieving both!)

What’s something uncool that you love?
Sitting on my sofa doing absolutely nothing! I am the biggest homebody. I just love a peaceful and serene environment above all else.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
There are numerous opportunities that I’m forever grateful I’ve experienced, but one of my favorite highlights would be being hand-picked by Cynthia Bailey as her overall winner for her Curvy Girl 2015. The level of exposure helped to boost my platform.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
I’m from a pretty small town in Texas where there’s not a lot to do/see. However, we produce some of the best (southern) delicacies in the world! If you’ve never tried a ‘Party- Time’ sausage link, better known as ‘Zummo Sausages’ you are missing out on LIFE!

Which brand would you love to model?
I’d love an opportunity to work with Lane Bryant and Melissa McCarthy‘s new plus line. Lane Bryant has taken a stance on plus-size women being seen as equals to our ‘standard size’ counterparts; whether it be the same modeling opportunities or even the same clothing options when I walk into a department store. I’m all for it! It’s the type of movement I’d love to represent as a model.

Place you would love to visit:
Of course, there’s the Bora Bora’s and Maui’s of the world, but I’ve never been to London! Despite the number of connections I have there, it’s one of the places that remains on my bucket list.

Currently, you’re obsessed with/about:
All things interiors. At the moment, I’m pretty much living and breathing it. The goal is to have my interior styling business opened by the end of 2016. Be on the lookout!
