To support myself as a kid, I was a model at art schools around Boston.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was very involved with school by the time I was 15 and wasn't working much as a model.
I wanted to become a model since I was a kid.
I was an only child, and my mom threw me into some modeling classes to get me out of my shell.
When I was 15, I was scouted at the mall by Elite Model Management. I started to go to New York on the bus in high school, which was about four hours door-to-door from my hometown, until I moved to New York and lived in models' apartments all over.
I went to art school when I was little.
Aside from my modelling, by the early Nineties I was also starting to work as a photographer, which I loved.
Modeling was something I wanted to try from a really young age.
I was the first child at four at a modeling agency, so I had an advantage.
I modeled a little bit in Georgia growing up. I did catalogs and different things, but then when I came to L.A., I became a professional model. It sounds kind of crazy, but in L.A. was when I was able to start making a living from modeling.
I went to the Professional Children's School in New York, and I started modeling because I could do that until I actually figured out what I wanted to do, and it gave me the opportunity to travel.
