Born in Great Falls, Montana to an American Army doctor father of English and Dutch descent and a Thai mother, I moved around quite a bit as a child both in the U.S. and overseas, gaining a valuable, early understanding of different peoples and cultures. At the tender age of 13, I was discovered by a Japanese photographer on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco and immediately enrolled in the venerable Barbizon Modeling School. Then I signed with Morning Sun modeling agency and became an overnight success in both print and runway, spending most of my teen years as a working model in Japan, Europe and New York.
I am a registered nurse but my calling was something else, so I went back to modeling and auditioned for Playboy..the rest is ancient history!
