I was born in Michigan two months early, weighing less than four pounds. Shortly after I was born, My Family moved to Guadalajara, Mexico. My family moved back to USA in 1980. After graduating high school, I traveled the world with "Up With People" for a year. Then, a few years later I traveled back and forth to Europe as a model. I've also been a cast member of the Swedish Gladiators.

I learned English when I was about 14 years old. -I attended an "all girls" Catholic school in Mexico - I performed at President George W. Bush's (Sr., Not Jr.) inauguration in 1988. Favorite pastime: My absolute favorite thing in the entire world is to spend time with my entire family over dinner. Turn offs: Arrogance, bigotry, jealousy, liars, disrespect for others, people who are inconsiderate. Turn ons: People with "open minds"!! Variety of Jobs I've Had: Cage Dancer in Austria (that was fun!), Technical Support for Microsoft. Adult chat line. Very interesting! Volunteer work I've done: Habitat for Humanity ~ Helping to build a home Salvation Army ~ Feeding the homeless Swedish Prisons ~ Co-hosted fitness seminars in Swedish prisons. State School for the Deaf and Blind ~ Assisted blind and hearing-impaired kids at summer camp. Humane Society/Adopt-a-bull Foundation ~ Spending time walking and cuddling with the dogs (mostly Pit Bulls). Some of these dogs (especially Pit Bulls) don’t get out of their cages for a couple days at a time.;( Everybody needs love and affection, even Pit Bulls. :) BTW...Pit Bulls and other Bully breeds are my favorite dogs in the world!! I also completed the training for the Victim Witness Program ~ a volunteer program with the Police Department dealing with victims and witnesses at crime scenes. This is the only volunteer job I couldn't do. I could not deal with seeing the worst in humanity, on a regular basis. My Mother volunteered for years; I got to hear about it, that was enough for me. Greatest accomplishment: Going to a total of 13 countries alone when I was in my early 20's with only $300.00 in my pocket, and finding enough modeling jobs to support myself for about six months, and then returning 2 more times to do it again. Self-description: Very affectionate!!... 99% of the time I'm very happy. I'm honest, self-motivated, open minded, and very caring.
