As well I am brains too, I attend UTSA & am graduating with a degree in International business.

"Bella Donna" my lingerie line, which will expand to jewelry, sexy wear, heals & of course make up! It's not going to stop:)

I don't dislike this part...;P I appreciate & thank all who have been with me since the beginning & to only see me improve in all that I do. I work hard but like its quoted by me in stash magazine..." I work to become, not to acquire & I model because it is my passion, not a hobby. It's always something new & exciting for me but I can appreciate that the work is not easy." I have been blessed to meet the majority of people I have worked with I only hope for bigger & better !
Thank you.
