So have you always naturally just been
good at math and science?PC Yes.So, I can’t imagine it’s too much
di!erent now, but you go around
campus, and you’ve got di!erent
majors and you’ve got di!erent types of
people. And you’ve got your di!erent
stereotypes about what type of people
take what type of majors. And there’s
always some truth in stereotypes. I’m
an electrical engineer. And when I was
an engineer [student], one of the things
was, if you want to see pretty girls,
there’s a LOT of them on campus...just
DON’T go into any of the engineering
buildings, because you’re not going to
see any there. Right?PC Yes. That’s totally true. (laughs)And so, I mean, there were females in
engineering, but they weren’t the type
of females that you would expect to see
as models in magazines. And there were
very few females to start o! with. So do
you think that you break this
stereotype?That’s what I’m trying to do—to be
honest. And also since my name is
“C00kie” and they see me modeling,
they say ‘How did you get the name
C00kie?’ I say, ‘Take a wild guess’, and
the #rst thing they say is ‘stripping’.
And I tell them I got the name C00kie
because I was the top Girl Scout cookie
seller for 12 years. And I’m a lifetime
member. So I earned that name
“C00kie” and it wasn’t from stripping.
So I’m de#nitely trying to break that
stereotype.PC
