Q & A with Casssey

Favorite Musical Artist?

“I like Ariana Grande because my son loves her, especially her song ‘Almost is Never Enough.’

“The words relate to everyday life and speaks more to the current generation.”

Special Talent?

“I’m very organized and live a healthy lifestyle.  I do food prep every Monday and cook for the week.

“Italian cold pasta is my specialty, It’s an Italian Dish with a Puerto Rican twist.  I use Spanish and Italian seasoning mix and marinate the meat before I cook it. I love it and it’s low in sodium.”

Experience of being a Hard Rock Calendar Girl?

“I really enjoy the volunteer work. We did Metropolitan Ministries (helping poor and homeless families) where  we picked out toys and care packages for Christmas.

“It really opens your eyes that there are less fortunate people in your hometown. You see it first hand. They look okay, but in reality they need a helping hand.

“I also liked Paint Your Heart Out Tampa, where we painted houses for those who can’t.”

Reaction to Being a Hard Rock Calendar Girl?

“It’s nerve wracking every time, there’s so many pretty girls who tryout.  I’ve been in (the calendar) so many times, you worry that they’ve already seen me and want to try someone else.

“I like pushing new girls to try out. It can be intimidating, especially if you’ve haven’t modeled or ever been in front of a camera.

“There’s a friendly competition and when the tryouts are coming everyone is working out and eating right.

“If I see potential, I tell them to go for it. I like being a mentor to the new girls.”
