Standing at 5'5" with 34B-24-34 measurements, brunette hair, and green eyes, she entered the adult industry in 2006 at age 20. Before porn, she modeled in music videos, commercials, and beauty pageants, and studied clothing design and business in college. Discovered by a talent agent at an adult convention, she debuted shortly after. Initially a free agent, she collaborated with studios like Elegant Angel, Hustler, Vivid, Adam & Eve, and Digital Playground before signing an exclusive contract with Sex Z Pictures as both performer and director. Her accolades include the 2007 Adultcon Top 20 Adult Actresses award, 2008 AVN nominations for Best New Starlet and Best POV Sex Scene (POV Pervert 9), and 2009 AVN Best Group Sex Scene (Dark City). She paused in 2008 for pregnancy with her fiancé's child but returned with high ambitions. Known for hardcore and interracial scenes, her extensive filmography cements her legacy.
