Beyond the photos
People often ask me what I enjoy outside of work, and the answer usually surprises them. I'm much more of a homebody and a nerd than I probably seem.
If I had my way, I'd be at home playing PlayStation or PC games with no pants on, my animals around me, listening to podcasts, binging true crime documentaries or horror movies, baking something sweet, or spending time in the garden. I also have a habit of convincing myself I can tackle DIY projects that are way beyond my skill level. Sometimes they turn out great... sometimes they just become reminders.
I'd describe myself as fiercely independent, deeply loyal, naturally sarcastic, a little clumsy, and unapologetically genuine. I'm also terrible at hiding how I feel—my face almost always gives me away before I've had a chance to find the right words.
Like many people, life took me down a path I never expected. So instead of trying to become someone I wasn't, I made a conscious decision to build my career around authenticity. I never wanted to create a character or play a role—I simply wanted to be myself.
I've never really been good at pretending to be someone I'm not, and honestly, I don't think I'd want to be.
Courtney is actually my middle name, I never lie about my age, and if I'm honest, I probably overshare a little.
That means the person you meet is the same person I am in my everyday life. I value kindness, respect and sincerity, and I genuinely believe they're the foundation of any good experience. Discretion, professionalism and clear boundaries aren't things I mention because they're what I'm supposed to say—they're incredibly important to me, and they're values I never compromise on.
Whatever time we spend together, I hope you'll leave feeling a little lighter, having shared a few laughs and feeling like you've spent time with someone who was genuinely present.
