I graduated with a master's degree in library information science when I was 21 and started working at a library. The job was fulfilling, but it left me with a lot of free time.
I had done some modeling when I was 18, so I decided to search for local gigs to pick up on the weekend. After getting hired to do a few nude photo shoots, I got an offer to do porn.
