Describe a difficult situation you were in and how you overcame it?
Transitioning from a money driven career to a passion driven career. I’ve been blessed with a succesful and long modelling career. I felt at one point it was time to start thinking about my next move and tried a few different things but didn’t feel satisfied. I wanted to find something with passion and purpose and found the answer in the shower: I asked myself “what am I passionate about”? I looked over at the shampoo bottle (kiss my face) and the label said “Do what comes naturally”. What comes naturally? What are my happiest moments during the week? It then hit me; every time I go to the farmers market I come back filled with joy; I love filling my fridge up with great products and preparing delicious meals. That’s it; I’m passionate about food, health and nutrition and that’s what my new career is going to be about. I didn’t know what it would look like, all I knew was that I found my passion and that I would figure out the rest
What are your goals for the future?
I’d like to have my cookbook published and collaborate with other like minded profesionalls to keep inspiring and supporting a large number of people to take charge of their health and life.
