Tawag Promotions: Who are some of the people you would want to want with?
GEM: I LOVE Tyra Banks, I’d love to have a shoot with her there giving me direction. I think that she perfected modeling, & went on to doing other things as well as making sure to help other upcoming models along the way with the show Americas Next Model. I hope to be that too one day, a strong woman holding my own & making a very POSITIVE mark in this industry!
Tawag Promotions: What is your current relationship status?
GEM: Im SO SINGLE!
Tawag Promotions: What do you look for in a male or female at the first sight?
GEM: I look at what they are wearing, their SHOES and if they are walking with confidence! You can look at someone and tell if they are confident just by how they are walking. I have a lot of confidence, so I expect a man interested in me to be the same way.
Tawag Promotions: What can a male or female do to keep your attention?
GEM: I get distracted very very easily, so if a man can hold a conversation with me and keep me entertained by what we are talking about that is a plus. Conversation is important especially when Im first meeting someone so if a man can keep me talking he will definitely get a second date with me 
Tawag Promotions: What makes you smile?
GEM: LIFE! Knowing that I’m blessed to wake up every morning and have the opportunity to make today better than yesterday & be able to live my dreams is a great feeling! Why not smile about that ?
Tawag Promotions: What is one things the readers wouldn’t know about you by reading this interview?
GEM: Something I think readers wouldn’t know is that I haven’t always been this confident in myself. I went thru a time where I was really unmotivated and questioned my potential as far as being a model. Although it was a rough time of my life, I’m glad I went thru it because now I’m a strong, humble person and appreciative to all these great opportunities coming my way.
