Tell us about tennis in your life.
Tennis has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. My Mum (notice spelling) taught me how to play when we went on vacations on a small, half-sized, tennis court. Ever since then I had a love for the game and always practiced against the wall of my house in the country which I realize helped me get to where I am today. When I moved to the city the competition was much more fierce and it took me a while to get used to, but I eventually left Australia with a state ranking of Number 3 and national ranking of Number 19. I think moving to the city was a big change in my life -- for the better. It was tennis that got me to the U.S. and I am very grateful for that opportunity, as I would never have got into modeling if I was still in Australia.
What degree are you pursuing?
I am currently studying Physical Therapy. During school I had always wanted to become a Physical Education teacher but my ideas changed to more of a Sports Physical Trainer/Therapist once I graduated High School.
When did you first start to think about modeling?
I didn't really start thinking about modeling until this year. I was always interested in watching fashion shows and stuff like that but just for the perve I think. Never did I think I could be a model! I always looked at myself as not a very good looking person when I was younger, but at that age I didn't really care how I looked either. To this day I still don't look at myself as a model, just merely as someone who got 'lucky'.
Did anyone tell you that you should be a model?
It was when a couple of people at different times asked if I was a model that made me have the attitude of 'why not, it won't hurt in trying'. At first I laughed it off and never took their comments seriously. So one day I
decided I'd try it out and I took a few face and body shots using my
webcam and posted them online.
