She had listened to them and shifted to New York City with a modeling contract when she was 17 years old. In no time, she became one of the leading fashion models in the United States.

She used to get up at four o’clock in morning, and leave to go to work at five. She did not return home until eight o’clock at night. Later on she had been amazed to see that, after meeting Gregory Harrison, when her dreams started coming true, she also began to have more time to be together.
- She has disclosed that she relocated to Oregon, in order to raise her kids as she and her husband did not find Hollywood to be the ideal place to do so.
