The only thing I hated about the agency business was a lot of business travel. It was the only part of my job that I did not like. I found it very tedious and wearing.
My dad was a theater actor, so he had an agent, and he brought me into his agency when I was maybe four years old. That was how I started. I started modeling, and it progressed from there.
Being an agent gave me a great sense of satisfaction.
I went to find myself and save myself by being an agent.
I thought that marketing was a way to be creative in business but quickly learned all creative stuff happens at the ad agency.
I started at an agency called Intertalent. You copy scripts, you pick up people's dry cleaning, you take their dogs to the vet, you deliver packages, you do whatever they want you to do.
Back in the day after I won my first pageant there was an agency that was getting me work on the side.
My mom was an actress, so I got with her boutique agency back in 2001 and started booking a few commercials. She's like my co-manager.
I worked for a temp agency called Manpower.
I do a lot of writing in my capacity as the creative director for a marketing agency. These days, though, I'm trying to write a little bit most evenings just to keep the creative juices flowing.
