Tell us about yourself as a person?
I'm an actor, writer and model from NYC. I am also a writer for Gorezone Magazine, which is a horror magazine based in the UK.  I have appeared in over 40 independent films. I grew up in New Jersey and in North Carolina.  The longer I live in New York, the more I realize that I'm not really a city person!  I love the country.  I also love animals and would love to have a farm and perhaps an animal shelter one day.  I have two little black cats - Loki and Monki.

How did you get started in modelling? 
I was going to college (studying business management), and my boyfriend at the time suggested I try modeling as a way to make some extra money.  I mailed snapshots to a number of different agencies, and got a few responses, and signed non-exclusively with a few of them.

Tell us about your feature film "Won Ton Baby" and your role.
"Won Ton Baby!" is an homage to cult classic horror flicks that I grew up on like "Evil Dead", It's  Alive", and "Basket Case".  It's incredibly tongue in
cheek, and is meant to amuse.  I'm very, very fond of the "horror/comedy" genre, and "Won Ton Baby!" is an example of this indeed!  The story surrounds an angry young fetus infetu (parasitic twin) who resembles a cross between a baby sumo wrestler and Elvis Presley.   I play Little Wing Won Ton, the loving and quite naive sister of baby Won Ton.

How do you keep yourself in top shape?
I walk alot, I do cardio at the gym (often the elliptical machine and treadmill), and I also lift weights a few times a week.  Yoga is wonderful as well,
and really helps elongate the body and make you more limber.  Plus it is a great stress reliever, and way to really get in touch with your body.

Please tell us about your normal diet (eg. generally  what do you eat  for breakfast, lunch, dinner).
Breakfast is usually a big bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and/or berries. 
Lunch is often a sandwich (ideally a lean  protein like fish or turkey), and then maybe something sweet like a cup of pudding or a granola bar.
Dinner runs the gamut, and tends to be whatever I am craving at that point.  Anything from fish to pasta to pizza to tacos.  Oh, and  I am a sugar addict  
that is my biggest weakness!  I love dessert.

Tell us about your exercise routine.
It is varied, but I vow at a bare minimum to walk at least 30 minutes 5 days a week.  Ideally, I hit the gym 3 to 5 days a week for a half hour to an hour
(depending on my time available and my motivation level!  ;-)

How do you motivate yourself to eat healthy in daily life?
I just think of how much better I feel when I eat well.   It's kind of akin to putting really cheap or tainted fuel in a car.  It just won't perform as well. Your body is the same way, and if you fill it with garbage, you will feel like garbage.  If you focus on a good healthy balance of protein and carbs and good fats (such as olive oil and fish oil), you will feel better and have more energy.

Your message for our obesity campaign readers - “How to lose weight and get rid of obesity”. 
Just do something.   Even small steps are great.  Whether it's getting outside for a 20 minute walk or chasing your kids around the park, try to incorporate fitness and activity into your daily life as much as possible.  Often, once you start moving, you feel energized and want to do more.  In terms of diet, just remember, everything in moderation.   If you want that giant piece of cake, have it.  But just make sure that your next several meals are balanced and healthy.  And as that old saying goes, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels".   And not to mention the health benefits.   Being fit really helps your body function better and puts you at much lower risk for so many diseases.
