FHM Mexico is delighted to have you… How do you feel right now? I’m very excited. I have always been a big fan of FHM.
Tell us a bit about you and your background: I’m a country girl. I grew up in Covington, TN a small town outside of Memphis. Memphis has been my home for the last 20 years, where I’m actively involved in my community. I started modeling in college and was fortunate to travel the world, working with top brands, photographers, and other models. Although I have a degree in Political Science and initially planned to attend law school like my father, my travels led me in a different direction. I became an event coordinator for an international company, planning large-scale celebrity events, and eventually opened my own special events marketing company.
Have you ever been to Mexico? What’s your favorite city? Yes, I love Mexico! I’ve traveled all over – Cabo, Cancun, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Mexico City, Playa, and Puerto Vallarta to name a few. Tulum is my favorite as I visit there quite often and I’ve made many good friends there.
Favorite Mexican food? Drink? I love all Mexican food! And spicy tequila cocktails are my favorite.
Can you tell us more about your company and what inspired you to start it? The Sullivan Agency is a full-service entertainment marketing and consulting firm dedicated to boosting engagement and sales by generating excitement and awareness for entertainment events, products, and brands. My passion lies in managing every aspect of special events, from fundraising to social media advertising. I also provide promotional models and influencers to enhance events and elevate brands. They say you never work a day in your life if you do what you love, and I truly live by that mantra.
What’s something about you that people might be surprised to learn about? Most people are surprised to learn that I’m blind in one eye and have a few other physical disabilities. I’m proud to say that I’ve faced and overcome numerous challenges in my life, and through it all, I’ve developed a resilient spirit and a determination to never give up. I believe that my positive outlook and perseverance can inspire others who have faced similar struggles, and I strive to be a source of encouragement and hope for those around me.
Which animal best describes you and why? I’m tiny but mighty, so I’d say a lioness. A lioness symbolizes strength, protection, feminine power, and community leadership. They are also fiercely loyal with nurturing instincts much like myself.
Describe yourself using 3 adjectives: Resilient, Charismatic, and Compassionate.
What are some of your goals in life you wish to accomplish? I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today, and I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished. I know that if I work hard enough, I will accomplish any goal that I set for myself in the future. My past experiences have shown me that dedication and effort pave the way to success, and I’m excited about the journey ahead.
