My background is very diverse so I speak four languages. My dad is from Italy, my mum is from Greece, I was born in Australia, and I am married to a Cuban… Italian, Greek, English and Spanish!

I was extremely excited to shoot for Playboy! I am proud to be part of such an iconic brand in history, and be a part of the recent rebranding that appeals to the Millennial #woke generation. Times have changed so much and I love how Playboy has become more socially aware and wants to get to know the models on the inside.

The people around me, my family and friends are what inspires me every day to be the best that I can and reach my full potential. I can always count on someone in my circle to give me that extra push if doubt ever crosses my mind.

I always admired models in magazines and on the runway. I knew that one day I wanted to be in front of the camera. The modeling industry is brutal and you need to have thick skin. Coming from the female tennis circuit, being mentally strong is so important, so it was an easy transition. Sure, there are always tears and sweat, but what’s important is what happens next… how you move forward!

I always admired Adriana Lima. To me, she is the perfect definition of a supermodel! 

I enjoy going out dancing at Latin venues and spending time with my family whenever I am in Australia.

I would love to visit Bora Bora and stay in an overwater bungalow, complete a Ph.D. in Computer Science and learn a fifth language.

A perfect date to me is anything that involves good food and a good laugh.

When I was playing tennis I visited many beautiful cities, but right now I would love to visit Cape Town so I can visit Table Mountain, and of course to see this issue of Playboy on the shelves!

If you’re too comfortable, it’s time to move on. Terrified of what’s next? You’re on the right track.

Gostinho de quero mais???
