Discovered  Originally at a St. Patrick's Day Irish Dance Show. My parents wouldn't let me until after I had done research about the agencies, and after I had bugged them for two years about wanting to model. Then I went to LizBell!

Best Modelling Moment  Being on location! It's a tie between shooting in the Hamptons recently at the Longhouse Reserve and shooting on top of a glacier in Whistler, B.C.

Awkward Modelling Moment  Falling right through a hole in a dock into the ocean in front of the whole crew, getting stuck, and having the photographer pull me out. I am always a little bit awkward and clumsy though.

Favourite Market  Well, seeing as I've really only spent time in New York... the New York fashion market has been great so far!

Favourite Model  I love Hilary Rhoda and my fellow Richmondite Coco Rocha

Most Embassing song on your iPod  See You Again, by Miley Cirus...
