I missed out on the opportunity at the ideal age because I was too concerned with pleasing others and bought into a narrative that didn’t serve my true self.

Such an absolute honor to have you on FHM! What are you currently working on? First of all, thank you for the opportunity to be your cover girl! Currently, I’m trying to do what some might think is impossible – to start a successful and lucrative career in the modeling industry at an age that is older than traditional industry standards. I missed out on the opportunity at the ideal age because I was too concerned with pleasing others and bought into a narrative that didn’t serve my true self.

You’re a little bit older, what has your career and life been like so far?  Well, after graduating as valedictorian from my high school, I accepted a congressional appointment to train at the United States Air Force Academy (you know, like Captain Marvel!). When my military career painfully didn’t work out as planned, I opted for a career in public education, but like many others that pour themselves into teaching, I burned out. I attempted to make yet another career change with a second master’s degree, but life threw another curve ball when I became a special needs mom. Now that my son has started school, I’m finally chasing my dreams. It has been a lot of fun so far!
