model citizen >>> diana kauffman

Why modeling and how long have you been a model?
I have been modeling for about 8 years. I chose modeling because I thought it would be a way to travel and adventure.

What is your favorite thing about modeling?
It's something different all the time. New people, new fashions, new locations, etc.

Why Wild Tigers?
Tigers are agile, powerful, beautifiul and exotic.

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet and why?
I would want to meet my Great Grandmother on my mother's side. I have heard so many stories about her.

What is the biggest misunderstanding about you?
People assume that because I am a model, I am stuck-up or lack intelligence. Both of these assumptions are ignorant. I know many models in this business that are wonderful, interesting and intelligent people!

Who have been some of your main influences as a model and a person?
The most influential person has been my boyfriend Jake, he is my best friend and is not only very supportive but gives me clarity in making decisions regarding my career.

Machu Pichu (Peru) and Morocco sound very exciting and exotic; why is your garden one of your favorite places?
My garden is my own private sanctuary. At the end of a long, tiring day, I love to find solace and peace in my own yard.

What are your immediate plans for the future?
Continue acting classes and start auditioning for film and television more frequently!
