1) Favorite place to grab a bite in NYC?

I’d go 20 minutes out of my way just to eat at this little Malaysian restaurant hiding in a tunnel in Chinatown called New Malaysia. 

2) Go-to pump up jam?

Too many. I don’t know if it counts as “pump up” but I’m in a phase right now where I listen to “Love is a Bourgeois Construct” by the Pet Shop Boys on an infinite loop. I’m kind of crazy about Sia’s “Chandelier,” too. 

3) Item in your closet you can't live without?

Probably a pair of AG faux leather leggings.

4) How long have you been a model?

Four years this fall. I started right after high school.

5) When you're not running to castings, you are...

Running to class. I am double majoring in Chinese and Environmental Studies so I feel like I never have a free moment. But if I do manage to find some time for myself I usually spend it at karaoke with my friends or staying home obsessing over my cat.
