Model & Miss HIN San Jose 2019, Ivana

Hi everyone! I’m originally from Brentwood, CA and I started modeling last April. I recently won Miss HIN San Jose 2019! I also graduated last June from UC Davis as an Animal Science major and Entomology Minor, and I am aiming for veterinary school one day. 

How did you get started into modeling?

It all started when I decided to run for Miss Vietnam Northern California/Sacramento on a whim and ended up winning the title of Miss Ambassador. Afterwards, I had a lot of photographers asking to shoot, and I discovered I loved modeling!

Has being a model something you’ve always wanted to do when growing up?

Nope, there is no way I could have predicted this happening haha.

Do you have any favorite quotes or mottos you like to use in life?

“You are responsible for your own happiness. If you expect others to make you happy, you will always be disappointed.”

What is your exercise and beauty regime like to look so fabulous?

When I work out, I’ll warm up with cardio and then move onto weight training. I also make sure to wash my face twice a day, and exfoliate and moisturize in the evening.

Is there any food or drink you don’t take?

I’ve been cutting rice, bread, pasta, and other starches out of my diet lately. I try not to eat too many sweets, but I’ll still have fruit and the occasional candy.

How do you like to spend your free time?

I enjoy hiking, cooking, caring for my houseplants, and spending time with my two tarantulas.

What is a lame or funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?

Unannounced dick pics.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Ivana. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

 I think “sexy” is a state of mind when one embraces their physical and personality traits with confidence and know what effect it has on other people.
