How/Why did you get into modeling/acting?
 
I don't really consider myself a model eventhough i was on JDMA...I have done print work here and there but really I'm an actress. I LOVE acting and always have! I did plays in high school & college and always had so much fun. Eventually I decided to pursue it as a career. Thus far I've done a bunch of commercials and a few Indie films. Its been great but a super tough business to break into. I also do On-Air hosting and I'm pursing a career in that as well. I think hosting and acting work hand and hand and doing well in one field can launch a career in the other. I went to school for Broadcast Journalism at NYU and not for acting but ironically enough I usually get more nervous at hosting auditions!

What are your goals in modeling/acting?
 
My goal in acting is to forever be a working actor. To never have to give it up because of money. Its an art and I want to spend the rest of my life perfecting my artform.

Last question...

If you were on a deserted island what are the top three things you would want with you?
 
I have to pick 4...Damien and our 3 pets Hayden, Dakota & Gazpacho.

xoxoxo,
G
