I was looking for a positive change in my life when I agreed to do Playboy, but I never imagined it would change my life and make all my dreams come true.

I was born in Decatur, Alabama. My family moved to Reno, Nevada when I was four, and then to Vancouver, British Columbia when I was 12. I spent my teen years growing up in West Vancouver where I graduated from high school.

I modeled for John Casablancas Elite as a teenager and worked in the fashion industry in Vancouver. It was Ken Honey, a local Vancouver photographer, who talked me into posing for Playboy.
