After modeling for Sears I started doing print ads for some local boutiques and managed to work right on through my awkward adolescent years. I did commercials and print advertisements up through high school.
At 14, I went to NYC, not for modeling, but to dance. I ended up meeting the right people and I signed with an agency. I started doing alot of runway and hair shows. I also booked several web advertisements and TV hosting gigs. Around that time I quit dancing and without the daily exercise I put on a little bit of weight.
At 17 I did a fashion show in Atlanta, and afterwards, I was approached by an agent who told me that they would love to have me in their "plus-size" division.
My size 8 heart was completely shattered. Until that point I had just been having fun with everything, but that comment really messed with my head. I quit modeling all together and didn't look back.
