I am bold and intense to most people. But to those who know me intimately, I actually let out my tender side. I have spent a lifetime as a woman in a man's world, from getting an engineering degree to running a manufacturing company when I'm not modeling. I am a contradiction. I operate machinery and tools but love make-up, dressing up and killer heels. I work in the environmental world but have a sports car that I could not live without. I relish in not letting people have the chance to define me. I always keep them guessing.

"I was not meant to follow" - It was inspired by a line in a Green Day song. I had it written on my back below my neck. It came from the actualization that some are meant to lead and others are meant to follow. One day I woke up and accepted who I was and declared it to the world.
