Hey Everyone. Thank you for stopping by to check out my web site. Since becoming a playmate my life has taken a pretty dramatic change. I have been very lucky to be blessed with this opportunity and the support of all my loved ones. I am at a stage in my life where I am truly happy. So you want to know the back story of the girl known as “Miss May 2007”… Here it goes:

On February 5, 1987 I came into this world. I was raised in Holland, PA which is a suburb of Philadelphia. I am the baby of the family with two much older sisters and a supportive Mom and Dad. Looking back at family photos, it’s easy to see I was in need of the spotlight. I would run around playing dress up and giving singing performances to anyone who would listen.

That attitude and a need to be constantly busy carried on into my teenage years. I made sure I packed my schedule with dance lessons, singing, cheerleading and doing community service through my youth group. In the little free time that I had I would act and model.

It eventually came time for me to make a decision as to what I wanted to do as far as furthering my education after high school. I decided that I needed a change of scenery. So I put acting and modeling on hold and headed to the sunny state of Florida. I attended the University of Central Florida, where I was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. I would come home for summer to the same job I had my senior year of high school.

What job is that, you ask? I was a Hooters girl. Working for hooters was a lot of fun. It was great money and an opportunity for me to continue modeling. I did it just for fun not thinking it would ever lead to anything. However, in a round –about way these pictures actually led to me becoming a playmate. One of my best friends, Lindsay, sent these very pictures to The Howard Stern show.

I returned for another semester of school in Florida. In September 2006 I was presented with the opportunity to shoot my centerfold for Playboy. In. October 2006 I completed a 10-day shoot that was released to the world in the May 2007 issue of playboy. In order for me continue my education and travel for Playboy I decided to return to the New York-Philadelphia region and finish my marketing degree online.

Since becoming a playmate I have continued modeling and doing a bunch of promotional work for Playboy. My job takes me all over the world and keeps me super busy. I have made a bunch of great friends and am able to meet lots of exciting people. In the future I am aiming to do more acting and hope to be seen on film and in TV. So keep your eyes open for me. Right now the world is my oyster and I’m out there living it & enjoying it.

It’s here and only here that I plan to keep everyone updated with my latest adventures. I recently have spent a lot of time shooting video and pictures exclusively for this site. To be honest, it’s my favorite work yet!! I will be constantly writing blogs and posting pictures of all my closest friends and me. I want all of you to have a direct window into my world that you can see only on my website. I look forward to being able to interact with all my fans; after all you guys are my number one priority!
