The story I am about to tell you IS TRUE. You probably won’t believe me anyway, but here goes nothing….
So, I have a pretty large extended family, and it’s always tough trying to find presents for everyone without going crazy (at least, it’s tough for me. Maybe you wouldn’t mind!). This year, I thought I was ahead of the game – I know, I’ll give them all Spotlight flashlights. Problem solved! Good for all ages, lots of colors, always useful – perfect!
Unfortunately, I forgot that some of the people in my family are obnoxious teenage boys. You guessed it – one shone the light in the other one’s eyes and WHAM – Christmas fight! There was some punching and wrestling. Oh yeah, it’s on. Then the Spotlight was knocked to the floor and under the couch and tears ensued. It was a very interesting evening, and in the end everyone did like their presents…. maybe a little TOO much!
Don't be left in the dark on National Flashlight Day. The basic requirement for this day, is a flashlight and good batteries. Flick the switch, and you can put anything into your spotlight. We'd like to shed a little light on this special day. National Flashlight Day arrives on Winter Solstice, which is the shortest day...and longest night.... of the year. "Watt" that means, is that there's lots and lots of darkness. With all of those dark hours, your flashlight is apt to get a good workout. You never know when you will need a flashlight. National Flashlight Day is a good day to make sure you and your family know where the flashlights are. Test each flashlight, to be sure the batteries are good. When in doubt, replace the batteries with new ones. It is also a good idea to put a flashlight in your car.

Why do you love 12VSpotlight?
12Vspotlight is the easiest light to have. Just throw it in your pocket or plug it in your car and you have light when you need it. No more big and bulky lights that don’t work half the time cause the D size batteries are dead. The light is compact and always ready, and the colors choices made it so I could match my car with it. 12VSpotlight got me lit, and now I will never be in the dark again.
I want to give shout out to:
I would like to thank my sponsors 12VSpotlight, Bridgestone Motorsports, Rota Wheels, JBL Audio, Optima Batteries, Dynamat, PAC, Corbeau Seats, Giles Body Shop, and Eonon.

Describe yourself in three words.
Exotic, Friendly, Outgoing
What trait do you like most about yourself?
I am very dedicated to what I do. I love modeling, and although I have hit some rough patches, I am always dedicated to keep going and fulfilling my dreams.
How long have you been modeling, and how did you get started?
Wow, it’s been about two GREAT years! I got started a while ago though. A friend I knew, asked if I could model for them at The Import Life Tour in Detroit. I had so much fun! After, I took a long hiatus. When I came back into the scene I started taking pictures with different photographers. I got my break when a photographer (Michael-James) from Detroit created my portfolio. After that things just took off! I am so thankful for so many of the opportunities that I have been blessed with.
What are some of your modeling highlights so far?
Wow, I think my highlights are mostly covered this year. I have gotten to model for many HIN events around the East Coast with Performance Auto and Sound and Pure Hot Models. I have also got into GOGO dancing and have performed for many clubs around my hometown of North Carolina.
What do you do for fun?
I am a party girl. I love to hang out with friends, sipping drinks and playing video games. I am addicted to Guitar Hero.
What is your best beauty secret?
Let’s see – I think my weight management is the best secret. I was not born perfect, I do watch what I eat but I do have my weaknesses. Doesn’t every girl? One way to help boost your metabolism is eating peppers. I try and eat peppers with rice a few times a week.
What are some of your upcoming projects?
I am doing many upcoming things. I will be attending HIN in Chandler, AZ in December. I also am GOGO dancing at more and more events. I am also a promoter for many different companies around the nation. I don’t really know what the future holds for me but I’ll say this: 2010, prepare to see even MORE and MORE of me!
Do you have any advice for aspiring models?
Don’t let anyone discourage you from your dreams. Sometimes we have to pay our dues to earn a spot in the limelight!
Why do you love 12VSpotlight?
Who DOESN’T love 12VSpotlight? Plus, they come in a rainbow of colors! What more could you ask for?
Do you have any closing remarks?
Thank you to all that have helped me through out my career. Thank you to my fans! You guys are the reason I am here today, doing what I do. You rock!
