She was also seen nude in a pictorial of the Playboy magazine in September 2004. She was a great athlete during high school and her later results proved her talent.

In 1991 she set a new Texas state record after jumping 6'2" and then a new national record, 6'3". She is beautiful and this offered her the cha nce to appear in magazines.
