“I love adrenaline, dirt bikes, snowboarding,
all the crazy stuff.”
Serena Sterling fits the mold of a California girl, yet she still resides in Utah. Tall, slim,
beautiful, and self-assured, her confidence steps into the room ahead of her. As far as her
adult career, “I took a little break. I have a really amazing agent now, and I’ve been getting a
lot of shoots, and it’s been awesome,” she says. “I’m with Foxxx Models. It’s going super well.”
Between traveling back and forth for shoots, she is very athletic and finds time for her
physical hobbies. “I’m a very active person. I love adrenaline, dirt bikes, snowboarding, all
the crazy stuff.”
During her break from the industry, she decided to make a change for when she returned.
She prefers face-to-face shoots over internet filming or camming. “Social for real rather than
social media,” Serena says, smiling.
With her sporty background, her choice to move to adult films was simply taking on a
new challenge. “It’s a new experience for me. I really liked meeting so many people. I would
have never experienced these things without being in this industry,” Sterling says. “I love the
traveling and the shoot houses and the people on scenes I meet. I really enjoy this kind of
a whirlwind.”
The eldest of five children, living outside of Salt Lake City, she is looking ahead to moving
to California. “I’m just kind of waiting because of how expensive it is. That is what’s stopping
me, because I love California.”
With this new dedication to her career, she’s added a new tattoo to her collection. It’s on
the right side of her neck, and she wears it like jewelry. “It’s a mandala. It’s for new starts
and being able to reset. It’s a permanent good luck charm,” she says as her fingers run over
the delicate black lines.
Sports have always been a part of her life. “I wanted to be a soccer player, actually. I always
had plans of going to college to play soccer. I played soccer in high school. But then one
day, I thought, this is too much,” Serena explains. “I played it my entire life, and it was always
so serious from a young age. That’s what I was so set on.”
For now, her current path is clear. “I’m up for the ride. I’m super spontaneous. I like trying
new things, and if I don’t like something, I just move on to the next thing.”
