I was born in Baltimore, Maryland but I really grew up in Europe because
of my father's job. When I was seven my family moved to a farm in
Scotland. I loved being surrounded by nature and I spent a lot of
time playing with the animals ... cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and
rabbits. I am an only child so the animals were my best friends. It
was a great way to grow up. I loved everything about Scotland (except
the weather and the food) and I really hope to go back sometime. My
last name is Scottish so my family really got involved in the local
culture. I took upæ Scottish highland dancing and used to compete
all over the country. I still have my kilt to this day. When I was
thirteen we moved to Augsburg, Germany for four years. There I really
had the best of both worlds - I attended an American high school (where
of course I was a cheerleader) but I also learned to speak German.
My family traveled all over Europe and I am really grateful that I
had the opportunity to see and do so much at such a young age. Moving
back to Maryland at the end of my senior year of high school was really
hard but I made it through and went on to Loyola College where I majored
in German and Political Science. I graduated summa cum laude and I
even joined Phi Beta Kappa (who says pretty girls aren't smart?) I
went on to law school at George Washington University. Modeling and
acting were always what I wanted to do, but my family felt that education
is the most important thing. I was modeling on the side during school
but I soon found out that modeling, acting and attending law school
at the same time is impossible! So I decided to just go for it and
try to MAKE IT BIG. I knew in my heart that otherwise I would always
regret not trying. At the time it was a tough decision especially
because I felt like I was letting my family down, but I packed my
stuff in the car and headed alone to Miami to pursue my dream... And
that's when my modeling and acting career began... I landed roles
in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon and The Holy Man with
Eddie Murphy and Jeff Goldblum as well as TV commercials for Bally
Total Fitness, the American Red Cross, British Telecom, Woman's Own
magazine and a fitness infomercial on QVC for the ChestPro 2000. I
began modeling for lots of fitness, swimwear and lingerie magazines
and catalogs, including the covers of Fitness Plus Magazine and Boating.
I had a blast in sunny South Beach, but after a year it was time to
move up to New York City. I continued acting with roles on Saturday
Night Live, The View and Ed on NBC and as a Hooters waitress in Adam
Sandler's movie Big Daddy. I play Caprice in the new Elizabeth Hurley/Dennis
Leary film Double Whammy coming out soon and I just did my first appearance
on The Howard Stern Show! In 1999 I appeared in my first Playboy Special
Editions Book "Real Sex 2". It was an amazing experience. I love working
with Playboy and I am so lucky to have gotten to go to so many interesting
places with them.æ I have had layouts in fifteen Playboy Special Editions
and I have been featured on the cover twice.æ It has been a dream
come true to work with Playboy. I traveled with them to the Mardi
Gras in 1999 and 2000 for their live Web cast - what a blast.æ Then
I was chosen as the "Playboy.com Party Girl", hosting Hef's parties
at the Mansion with half hour broadcasts for Playboy.com. What a fun
job! What's next? Who knows? It has been an exciting ride so far.I've
just relocated to Los Angeles and I LOVE IT! My ultimate goal is to
host my own show on TV ... keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully you'll
be seeing much more of me soon!
