Discovered  I was discovered by Ford during their Supermodel of the World Competition, and I was given a contract with them.

Best Modelling Moment  Definitely walking the Diesel runway show as a part of the Ford competition. It was my first show, and I nearly died when I found out Kalan Porter and George Stroumboulopoulos were in the audience! I wanted to get at good look at them but had to stare straight ahead! Haha!

Awkward Modelling Moment  I have too many of those to choose from! I would have to say one occurred during the Diesel show. I was wearing only a long hoody which buttoned all the way down the front. As I was walking down the runway the buttons slowly started popping open. I was freaking out, but trying to be cool, acting like it was all a part of my plan, and that it was supposed to happen. By the time I was finished my walk there was only one button holding it closed! I was oh soooo relieved!

Another time, at my first creative shoot I was asked if I could dance. I said "sure!" and started breaking it down, doing my thing, only to be cut off by the entire crew saying in unison "No no! Nevermind! Forget it!" I guess my dancing is not as hot as I thought it was!

Favourite Market  I have only ever modelled in Toronto for a few weeks, but it was awesome there!

Favourite Model   I would have to say Coco Rocha. She doesn't take herself too seriously, and she is Canadian after all!

Most embarrassing song on your iPod?  Now that is a tough one! I have no shortage of those. Family Channel music is my guilty pleasure. Hannah Montana, or Miley Cyrus I should say, along with the Jonas Brothers and Jesse McCartney. I am also a big Enrique Iglesias fan! Ahah! Shhhhhh!
