Jennifer Nukul was raised in Mission Viejo, California. She first got into modeling back in 2006 when she attended HIN and Sema as a promotional model for various car companies. Since then she has been concentrating on getting published in magazines, catalog and on websites, although, she still does the occasional promotional work. Jennifer has been quite successful at getting on the cover of some of the biggest magazines in the automotive world. Aside from modeling; Jennifer is also a full-time nurse and runs a successful graphic design business, which keeps her pretty busy. She is planning the next step in her nursing career and plans to go back to school to obtain her Bachelors Degree. Although, she is passionate about all the jobs she has, her true love is caring for people in need and she feels it’s her purpose in life. When we need some TLC we know who to call, Nurse Nukul.

1. What’s your Ethnicity?

Thai and White which equals Thai-te. [laugh]

2. What’s your zodiac sign?

I’m the exact description of a cancer girl. Sensitive, emotional, caring and feisty…Watch out.

3. Where are you from originally?

I am a total Orange County girl, I grew up by the beach. I absolutely love it here and could never see myself living anywhere else.

4. What did you like most about growing up in the Mission Viejo?

Mission Viejo. I would have to say I have some amazing memories growing up in the OC. I’ve been blessed with amazing friends. We have definitely had our share of adventures.

5. What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?

Well, believe it or not I am a total closet nerd.My mom was pretty strict while I was growing up so I was definitely afraid to ever get out of line. Thai mama’s are a force to be recond with. However, one time, when I was about sixteen, I didn’t even have my drivers permit, my friend’s older brother and cousin let me and my girlfriend take turns driving her parent’s van on the street. Just as luck would have it, right after I got behind the wheel I look in the rearview mirror and my mom is in the car right behind me. I just about had a heart attack, it was worse than if a cop were behind me, luckily she never found out and hopefully she never reads this. [laugh]

6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

Define “crazy.” [laugh] Believe it or not I do have somewhat of a daredevil side to me. My friends and I once went off-roading in Glamis with no head lights on. I hopped a 12 foot fence in high heels once. The first time I went to a shooting range, I discovered I was a natural born sniper.

7. What’s your favorite hobby and why?

Surprisingly, I recently started running, I have never worked out in my life until a few weeks ago. I was at home and felt like getting out and doing something and decided to go to the beach and go for a run. It’s a beautiful atmosphere and after about an hour I went to sit on the sand and got into my zone, it’s so relaxing and refreshing.

8. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Talking dirty. I mean…my sweet tooth. [laugh] I eat hot fudge sundaes for breakfast on a very regular basis.

9. Who do you admire?

Well, I could think of a few celebrities I greatly admire because of not only their talent but their actual passion to do good in the world as well, however I would rather name two people I know personally and think the world of and that would be amazing photographer Cesar Aristeiguieta, MD and Model/Life Coach Cindy Cohen. Both of them are very extraordinary individuals who are beautiful inside and out. They are extremely accomplished and both have been through incredible adversity. More than anything I admire strong good hearted people who make a positive difference in other’s lives…completely selflessly and that is the very definition of both of them. I’m very proud to call them my friends.

10. If you could change one thing in the world what would it be and why?

Besides modeling, I am a full-time nurse. A big part of who I am is always wanting to fix everything and everyone. I see someone suffering and I can feel their pain. I want to fix them and make them better. Whether its medically or emotionally, I have a deep need to care for others. I think our world just needs more love and kindness, even if it’s just one person at a time.

11. What’s one of your personal goals?

I would love to go back to school to do a bridge program and further my nursing degree. It’s not so much for the credentials as much as it is to strengthen my skill level and knowledge so I can better serve the patients I care for everyday.

12. What do guys compliment you on the most?

My lips.  I’ll admit it…I kinda like them too.

13. What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

My Legs. I’m 5’9” and pretty much all legs!

14. What do you look for in a guy?

Confidence, honesty, kind hearted, great character and ambition.

15. What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

His Smile.

16. What’s your ideal first date?

I love a man who is thoughtful and romantic. My ideal first date would be going to a nice restaurant at the beach and then maybe doing something fun; like watch a stand up comedy show. I love to laugh more than anything.

17. What turns you on?

An amazing kiss. It says so much about your attraction and compatibility with someone.

18. What turns you off?

Guys who are cocky and rude to other people, it’s an instant buzz kill!

19. What’s your biggest pet peeve?

Listening to other people boast. I admire successful people, but I think it’s more admirable to be humble and grateful for what you have.

20. Who’s your celebrity pass?

Eric Winter! He’s hot, handsome, classy, talented and a true family man. He’s perfection!
