I was born to a beautiful Irish/Cherokee model and famous painter from Iran. Acting and modeling is something I never thought was an option my entire life. In the late 90s, I was discovered by a new talent agency hosted by Mario Lopez.
We got a callback, I was selected. What happened next would change my life forever, and kill my dreams of becoming an actress. I was 11 years old.
My Mom told me that the headshots would be a waste of money because of my “ADD”. When I was 20, right before he passed, my adoptive father told me out of guilt that she had hidden my diagnosis of autism at the age of four.
I denied ever wanting to act because it was a choice taken from me. I immersed myself in my studies to become a psychiatric nurse.
At 26, my fiance I met in college took his life in front of me, and my Mother was battling with an illness that nearly killed her. I dropped out of college a few credits short of my bachelor's and moved in to become my mother's caretaker.
Hustler Magazine discovered me at the age of 28, the only modeling I was aware that I could do. I started a model mayhem and quit my college job as an assistant rehabilitation counselor. I plan to go back one day, but I needed to make money to cover my mother's hospital bills.
I soon found myself doing high-end porn and bisexual movies, becoming an LGBTQ icon. Though it was never my dream. I am now 34 years old and look 25. Society has changed, and there is less ageism in the acting world.
I am the same age as Inbar Lavi, the stunning Israeli actress. She became my inspiration, and, although I do not have her talent, I have natural quirks that can work well for extra roles, modeling, and commercials.
I bring a love of art into everything that I do. I am an artist as well.
