I think the greatest thing about being from California is that I’m a California girl! California girls are fun, happy and outgoing. We love to go to the beach, party and just have a great time. California is a great place to live, there’s lots of sun and I live 15 minutes from the beach. I can go to the mountains if I want, and it’s just an awesome place to live. I can party with my girlfriends, have lots of fun and great times. Hanging out in California is so awesome. I love to go to the beach, hang out with surfers, try and surf a little bit, maybe fall down in the water a little, but it’s okay! Everyone is sweet, outgoing, happy, it’s a great surfer life, easy and outgoing. I would describe myself as a typical California girl, tan, blonde hair and hazel eyes. Just a girl that likes to have fun and party!

How else would you describe yourself?

I think of myself as an outgoing person. I love to party, have fun, go the beach a lot (which means I’m in my bikini!) I try and surf but I’m just learning which means I fall off, I get pushed down in the white water but it’s okay, I’ll learn eventually. I like to write, read, hang out with friends, watch movies, and have lots of fun.

What is sexy to you?

Sexy to me would be compassion, someone who is genuine. Also on the physical side having a nice body -- abs are sexy, having a great smile, and its all in the eyes. That’s pretty much how I would describe sexy.

What would you tell guys out there who are trying to meet a girl like you?

My advice and tips to all you guys out there is just to be genuine. Be honest from the start. Try not to be someone else but just try to be who you are. Present yourself well, and always with a smile. Just be nice and outgoing and talk to a girl like normal. You don’t have to try and impress because that’s just lame!

What makes you happy?

What makes me happy? I guess just life in general, the way you look at things, you try to turn things around, if something bad happens its always for a reason. I just try to have a positive outlook on life and live life to the fullest, because you never know when your last day will be. I think I used to be a negative person, but then I don’t know, I just had a life changing moment and I look at things a lot differently now. Because you just never know when your last day will be, or the last time you say I love you to someone, you should always tell that to a person you love. Try and make friends everywhere you go, there’s nothing wrong with being positive. It only takes a minute to think of the upside in life -- at least we’re here -- that’s how I would describe being a positive person.

What do you like to do for fun?

To have fun I like to go to the beach, go shopping, hang out with friends, go to the movies, lay in bed, eat ice cream, there’s all kinds of fun I like to have. I like to go out and dance -- just everything!

We’d like to see you dance.

I love to dance -- I’m a pretty good dancer. I can do the robot! I like to dance, especially when I have some liquor in me. I may not be the greatest dancer ever, but I like to have fun, it’s just an expression of myself. Even if I look like a total dork, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m having a great time!

What are your goals in life?

My goals in life are to one day have a family but to continue to try to model in a bikini whenever possible. Also I’m going to school to become a Registered Nurse in Gerontology, which is for elderly people. I love the elderly, I used to volunteer at a nursing home and that’s how I decided that I wanted to become a nurse, just because I feel that the elderly are forgotten about, and society doesn’t remember them as much. I feel like they become babies again. Its really sad because they only want someone to talk to, and that’s what I found when I was a volunteer is that they just want someone to pay attention to them. So that totally changed my outlook on life, because now I treat everyone differently, where before I was just part of society just forgetting about what really matters. Now I talk to my Nana all the time.

Tell us about the fascination with the bikini.

I love bikinis. I think they’re fascinating because it’s almost like uncovering yourself to the world -- but not quite. I love bikinis just because they’re fun, you can pick a design and show your personality. I like this polka dot one I have on, because its happy, its blue and pink, pink is my favorite color and baby blue too. I like happy colors and it’s just an expression of yourself. You can glitter it up a little bit like these rhinestones. You can do anything you want, and that’s why I think bikinis are fascinating.
