She was raised in suburban Maryland, where she participated in beauty pageants during her adolescence and earned recognition as a teenage beauty queen. This early experience in public presentation laid the foundation for her modeling career.
Huffine began her professional modeling career in 2000 when she signed her first contract as a plus-size fashion model. Over the years, she has become a prominent advocate for body diversity in the fashion industry. She gained significant acclaim for being the first plus-size model featured in the prestigious Pirelli Calendar, a milestone that challenged traditional beauty standards.
