Olena: As far as I know, you dream of becoming a Victoria Secret model some day. What motivates you?

Brittney: I love modeling of all kinds, but I've always looked up to the Victoria Secret's models for inspiration and I love shopping there!

Olena: How old were you when you started modeling?

Brittney: 16

Olena: Brittney, you are very hard working and looking at the huge work you have already done in modeling I can't help asking the next question: what do you see yourself doing when your modeling career is over? Do you have any other plans or dreams?

Brittney: I've always wanted to do something with the CSI agency, some kind of forensics work.

Olena: Wow, this is impressive! Could you name 3 most important people in your life?

Brittney:

1. My mom. She supports me in everything I do and she's always there for me, to help me organize, help me make decisions on shoots and job offers and I don't know what I'd do without her!
2. My big brother. He's always looked out for me and he is my biggest supporter and keeps me level headed during tough times and good times!
3. My boyfriend Casey. He too supports me and is so proud for me to be out there trying to achieve my goals!

Olena: What is your favorite joke?

Brittney: Ummmmm. I'm a huge quote person, more so than jokes, but I do like to hear a good one that makes me belly laugh!

Olena: Oh, no, I am not giving up on that one. What's your favorite quote?

Brittney: There are soooo many. Every time I read one, it seems to touch me in a different way to inspire me. I'm not even sure who wrote this one, but this means a lot to me: "Accept nobody's definition of life, define it yourself."

Olena: Have you ever been nervous before a photo shoot or a show? If yes, what is your best advice to other girls out there who are just starting modeling as to how to manage stress and anxiety? Do you have any special tricks of your own?

Brittney: Oh yes. I've been nervous! I just try to get inside my head and either focus on a certain person or certain object and kind of have an out of body experience like I'm there, but I'm not. That's why I like my mom to be with me, I can look at her and feel relaxed and not feel as much pressure.
