I think when I started modeling three years ago, it was just a job, and I was so excited - everything was so new, so crazy.

For me, I just set little goals for myself and stay on that kind of track and surround myself with positive people along with my teammates.

I call myself good crazy because I am a crazy normal. But who is normal really? Are you normal? Maybe you are, but I don't think a lot of us are normal. I think a lot of us are scared to say that we are a little crazy. I'm a little crazy that is just the way it is. I look in the mirror now and I like who is looking back at me. I am comfortable in my skin for the first time in my life. I have let a wall down.
