-How did you get started modeling?
I actually started modeling as a young child, in my home town of San Diego, CA. But I really didn't start modeling till I was approached by a young gentlemen who was looking for local faces for his upcoming magazine. He offered and I said, why not? It was a great experience and it was very worth it.
-What modeling assignments are you working on right now?
I'm currently working with my sister Shieryl Smith a.k.a RellyReal, in which she has a small promotion company and provides me work for Target ME Productions and Trobia Entertainment. Upcoming jobs will be music videos and promotional events.
-What are your best experiences so far?
My best experience so far is actually the photo shoot I just did for Undevco Magazine. This photo shoot I will never forget. The photographer, my sister, and I were being chased be these huge bumble bees for about twenty minutes; it felt like. So that put the photo shoot on hold, it may sound crazy, but we had a big laugh afterwards. Thank God no one got stung.
-What do you think is the key to standing out among a crowded field of models residing in your hometown?
I believe the key to stand out from any crowd is to definitely be your self. So many people try to be something other than what they truly are and it all back fires in the end.
-What are you future plains?
My future plans are to continue modeling, which is something I have a love for, but being a fashion Designer and having my own clothing line is something yet to come.
-What do you do to unwind and relax?
To unwind and relax, I like to take a long, quite, hot bubble bath, by candle light of course. Then drying off by just lying in the bed and surf the channels on T.V.!
--Where can we find you on a typical weekend?
On a typical weekend you can find me chillin with my family and friends, especially my husband a.k.a. "Poppa". Also shopping, or grabbing a bite to eat at a favorite restaurant of mine.
--What's your favorite food?
My favorite food, I have to say would be Filipino food. Growing up in a Filipino culture, well that's all I practically ate.
--What do you consider your best quality to be?
I consider my best quality to be my personality. I believe that I can get along with just about anyone no matter what age, race, culture, or belief.
--Do you have any secret pleasures?
I sure do, but we're going to keep that in Maganda's Box!!!
-What could we find you sleeping in?
You can always find me hitting the Z's in nothing but my...well you know the rest!!!
-Tell our viewers what fields of modeling you are interested in.
I'm very interested in print, runway, and whatever other opportunities god blesses me with.
