"My 'Shut Up and Model' experience was absolutely life-changing. It was that project that really pushed me towards pursuing more television and film work. I grew as a person through that experience, and I am blessed to call the people at OMP my friends."

"I am not your typical model. I am definitely not the 'diva' type. I am extremely laid back, and I love to laugh. I love anything and everything that is classy-sexy."

"My lifestyle as a model and actress is extremely fast-paced and quite lavish. The parties are excellent, but can get really old really quick. I go to all major events, including the Super Bowl, movie premieres, the Oscars, charity events, etc. It's a great way to network. If it weren't for networking and my own self-promotion, I wouldn't have a career. I have had no help from managers or agents. I have made several celebrity friends on my adventures in Hollywood. They are all just like us -- normal people... only with big wallets!"

"My lifestyle is actually pretty crazy. I am a mother of a beautiful little girl -- she is 6 years old now! So when I am not working and traveling all my time goes to her. She is my sunshine!"

"My new show airing now is called 'The Ladies Of Lingerie EXPOSED.' I am the host of the show that takes the audience on photo shoots and out on the town with 12 gorgeous models in Boston, Massachusetts."

"We take you behind the scenes as the girls go from sexy lingerie to Playboy-style nudes. The show is very sexy with an air of class. I'm proud to have been part of such a great project. The talent that I worked with was amazing. I left that show with lifelong friendships, and that's priceless."

"Derek and I met at the Supermodel Tour on a totally different project. He loved my personality and when he was in meetings regarding this show he said he knew exactly who he wanted for the hosting position. I was honored. That only goes to show that it pays not to be a diva!"

"Modeling has helped me really develop who I am. Modeling is a form of acting – like a type of silent acting. When you are modeling, you are portraying an emotion or an action. So all my modeling has really helped me develop my acting skills. I never really thought modeling could help you when it comes to acting until now."

"That movie was absolutely amazing to work on! Just being on the same set as John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy, and Tim Allen was so surreal. Even though my part was not huge, for them to feature me on the television trailer was insane... I must have done something right, huh?"

"I just finished another film entitled 'Abbey of Thelema,' which comes out Oct. 7. I play Francesca, the sexy Italian who is the landlord's girlfriend. This is the story of Allister Crowley. It was a lot of fun working on this film. Ron Jeremy actually had a role as the priest. He was a hoot to work with."

"My advice to any aspiring model or actor is 'If you can dream it, it will come true. Work hard and never quit. There was a time when I almost gave up. However, you must not believe everything you hear. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Never go meet a new photographer alone -- always bring a friend. This business can be really shady, and you never want to be taken advantage of if you can help it."

"To be successful in anything, you must PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I have come a long, long way... If you think you are good, you probably suck! I watched footage of myself hosting a ghost-hunting show and at the time it felt great. I nailed it. Then I saw it...I was completely disappointed in myself. It just shows to never get comfortable with your performance level -- there is always improvements that can be made."

"My wildest photo shoot experience would have to have been when I was filming 'Shut Up and Model.' We were in Homestead, Florida in this jungle preserve where they had many exotic animals. We were in hair and makeup, and the animals really didn't like the camera crew or models occupying their habitat… so the animals started attacking us! The horses went nuts and tried jumping the fence. I was sooo freaked out! It made for a funny story, though."

"I was filming in Mexico with 'Wild On E!' and 'Hawaiian Tropic Spring Break Tour' and I decided I was going to do the skydiving segment. Of course, since I am not licensed, I had to jump tandem. Well, my instructor's name was Antonio Montana -- yes that is his real name. I was tightly strapped to him while wearing my Hawaiian Tropic bathing suit. We were just about to jump out of the plane right over the heart of Acapulco, and he asked if the straps all felt secure. I said, 'Yes... except what is that in my back?' He replied, 'No worries... that is just nature!' So I jumped out of an airplane with a very excited instructor -- How funny!"
