Current occupation: Model

Describe what you do: I am a professional print and commercial model and I also do promotional and spokes-modeling.

Three words to describe you: Hardworking, outgoing, and loyal.

Favorite hobbies: Yoga, boating, cooking, and sudoku puzzles.

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? The biggest accomplishment of mine so far is shooting for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. I was also chosen to not only shoot, but walk in their first ever runway show during Miami Swim Week where they debuted their new swim line!

What scares you most about traveling? Not much, but if I had to choose something I would say thieves and shady people.

What excites you most about traveling? Learning about new and different cultures, new food, and the unknown.

What country and place would you most like to visit and why? I would like to visit Barcelona because I think the architecture looks beautiful—as well as the beaches!

What do you hope to accomplish by running the race (other than winning $1 million)? Besides winning, I would like to experience different cultures and places around the world that I haven't yet and experience more adventures with my best friend. I'm a foodie so I'm also excited to get to try and experience different foods around the world that I normally wouldn't. Lastly, I'm hoping to learn more about myself and how far I can go to test my limitations.
