A slender blonde from the Pacific Northwest, Athena Faris was modeling when she met someone who was working in the adult industry. So she switched careers and hasn't looked back.

For one thing, she likes the travel involved with shooting. For another, she enjoys "the people I get to meet."

Among those people have been Manuel Ferrara, with whom she shot for Jules Jordan, and Chad White, who performed with her on a New Sensations movie. Soon she hopes to work with another big name: director Greg Lansky.

In late 2018, the industry newcomer was tapped to be one of the trophy girls at the 2019 AVN Awards Show.
