Cee: How many years have you been modeling?

Cee: Any words for the ladies out there that have aspirations of entering the modeling industry?

Ree: My advice for the ladies out there that have aspirations of entering the modeling industry is you have to be thick skinned, because not everyone's going to tell you what you want to hear...and be true to yourself, don't sell yourself short just because you think it'll get you to the top.



Cee: What's your plans from here?

Ree: My plans from here? Broaden my portfolio, work with talented photographers; as long as I am learning new things, I'm moving in the right direction!
