Q) Who is your favorite designer?

A) Good question. Hollister jeans fit me the best, so I’ll go with Hollister.

Q) Why did you decide to apply for the show?

A) Actually, it was kind of like an off the wall thing. I was just driving in my car and I heard a commercial on the radio and thought I could do that and went and did it.

Q) What was the audition process like for you? 

A) It was actually fairly easy. I was on Maui and the audition was over on Oahu and so I had to fly over there. I just went in and they interviewed us and saw what we were like. I showed them some pictures of me from my portfolio from before and they liked it.

Q) What was it like meeting Tyra Banks?

A) It was exciting. She was a really nice woman; she’s just what I expected.

Q) What did you like most about living in the loft?

A) I liked that we could do whatever we wanted. I basically just read in the loft.

Q) What did you learn most about modeling from the show?

A) It can be really difficult on your ego and psyche because they really make you think a lot, which is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Q) Who do you plan on keeping in touch with from the show?

A) I plan on keeping in touch with Noelle and Sarah. They are the ones that I clicked with the most. I don’t know why, we just got along.

Q) Why did you feel alienated in the house?

A) I think that mostly I felt alienated just because our general life experiences are different.

Q) What did you like most about the grave photo shoot?

A) All together, I thought it was pretty cool. I have never been lowered into a grave like that before. I’m always up for new things!

Q) Did anyone have any problems with claustrophobia on the shoot?

A) Michelle had a bit of a problem, but also Kahlen had some issues. I guess she just had somebody pass. I am not too sure, but she was having some anxiety about it.

Q) What was your experience like meeting Eve?

A) It was so nerve racking! I love Eve so much and I’ve see her on TV and then in person she is absolutely gorgeous too. She’s really sweet. That was a lot of fun so I was happy I got to meet her.

Q) What did you learn most from meeting with the ET correspondent?

A) I learned that it goes really fast and that you always have to be thinking and be on your toes. You always have to be thinking of what you are going to say next, but at the same time you have to be listening to what the person is saying.

Q) Do you have advice for contestants who try out in the future?

A) Be a strong person and be competitive.

Q) What are you going to do now that you are no longer on the program?

A) I am going to pursue my modeling career on the East Coast.

Q) Who do you think is going to win the competition?

A) I hope that Kahlen wins. I think she is the sweetest one out of the whole group.

Q) What was your favorite competition and why was it your favorite?

A) My favorite competition was the interviewing of Eve. It was my favorite because I got to meet Eve and I learned a little bit about interviewing. I think I did pretty well in that competition.

Q) What would you like to say to your fans and supporters of you and the show?

A) Thanks for watching the show and I hope I didn’t let you down!
