Sports Illustrated swimsuit model known for her work with brands like GAP and Maybelline.

She did not land her most publicized cover--the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue--until ten years after working in the industry.
She was raised by a single mother in Virginia.
She has worked exhaustively with womenswear designer Michael Kors on several projects.
