PS: Why Is Sports Illustrated a great place to start your career?
TW: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit practices what they preach. They are all about women empowerment and I think that's why the company has been so successful showing women of all shapes, sizes, colors, abilities, and ages. The editor team is all women who gets us and listens to us — even the Swim Search finalists! They make you feel comfortable, seen, and cared for. I cannot believe that I am a part of this family after ogling over their magazines for years.
PS: Do you have a favorite swimsuit, memory, or moment from shooting in Turks and Caicos with Sports Illustrated?
TW: My favorite swimsuit was this metallic burgundy bikini that probably is the tiniest swimsuit known to man! It was covering all the important parts, of course. I felt very sexy in it. But as revealing and teeny as the swimsuits look, they're actually very comfortable to be in. Every now and again, you just have to pick that wedgie. But I think my favorite moment beyond the shoot was playing with the puppies at Potcake Place [a local animal rescue center]. I am a huge dog-lover, so I was in heaven!
