I'm a professional at maxin' and relaxin' when I'm off model duty. I enjoy playing video games, mostly Nintendo, and I'm planning on reading a whole book.

Adventuring in the land of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, full of the spirit of exploration and unbridled enthusiasm. Or maybe at a party if my friends are going.
What current trend do you hate?
I'm not a big fan of fidget spinners, there's too much whirring plastic out there as it is.
What do you like the most about LA?
At the risk of sounding cliche, the weather is easily my favorite part. I'm used to Virginia weather, which is a constantly fluctuating nightmare, so the consistency has been a real treat.
