The climate wasn’t the only thing heating up in Thailand’s idyllic island of Koh Samui this month. With twelve of our stunning models on tour, MAXIM Australia and New Zealand brought its own level of hotness to host location Panorama Summit Samui. Welcome to Destination MAXIM…
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m from Iowa, a mid-western farm state in the USA. I’ve always loved modelling, acting and performing in general. I was in America’s largest incubator for students pursuing a start-up in college and since have been working in the legal technology industry. I enjoy seeing how automation can help augment human tasks. I’m a lifelong learner and believe everyone is always evolving and can improve. I love my family, travelling and good company and I respect authenticity and integrity. Oh, and I’m not a morning person but I wish I was.
When do you feel sexy?
When I’ve been taking care of myself – if I’ve been eating healthy, moving and well rested I look and feel my best.
Describe your ideal man.
Non-negotiables include being funny, considerate, ambitious, witty and a great smile never hurts.
What’s the most attractive quality in a guy?
Thoughtfulness – in every sense of the word. Intelligence and confidence are a close second, though.
What do you love most about yourself?
I love that I make people feel comfortable. I’ve found it’s easy for most people to open up to me. I think there’s something everyone can find about another person that’s relatable.
Tell us something new happening in your life right now.
I’m currently taking an online course at MIT on AI and its implications for business strategy. My industry has used Large Language Models in the context of electronic discovery in litigation but I’m interested in the broader adoption of artificial intelligence by the general population.
