Chameleon, seductive, ambitious
Were you excited to shoot for Playboy?
I really was! I remember when I got the news the first time I got was told I was going to shoot for playboy, it was Venezuela and I got 6 pages... officially a playmate. I literally screamed! I actually called my mom haha (she wasn’t initially thrilled but came around once she saw Bruce’s amazing and classy work) it really did change my life and me for so many reasons and started everything for me.
What was it like starting out as a model?
Honestly it was really confidence boosting when I first started. I’ve been so blessed to work with amazing people and it did come naturally to me.
