How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I am passionate, driven, and always looking for new adventure.
How long have you been a model?
I have been modelling professionally for just under 2 years. For me it’s never been a couple times a month sort of job, I try to work as constantly as possible and have done hundreds of shoots.
How did you get into modelling?
I was always interested in modeling, but I never expected it to become my career. I got into modelling when I started exploring the industry to figure out how to start as a makeup artist!
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
I went to a high school that focused on the arts, so my first experiences modelling were for photography projects that my friends needed help with. Later on when I went for my first more professional shoot I was blown away by the shots I received, because I had never felt photogenic before then.
What does modelling mean to you?
Modelling means everything to me. It has been such a positive thing in my life, and I never want to stop. It has helped me become more confident, outgoing, aware of my body, and overall more happy.
A model you particularly admire?
Being slightly under agency standard height has always been a struggle. I am definitely inspired by other models who are on the shorter end, such as Kate Moss, who have managed to make a name for themselves. I’ve always felt like this is something I have to do, and I can’t let little things stop me. As Kate Moss said “What people say isn’t going to stop me. I have to do things for myself”
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Anywhere and everywhere. I want to do a lot more traveling with my work. I love shooting by waterfalls, in nature, as well as places that others wouldn’t think to shoot.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I’d have to say 90s grunge seems to be my go to! I’m pretty casual and only get dressed up for the right occasions, but I love dressing up when I do.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I’d love to live by the ocean. There are still so many places I want to see, but I think it’s who you’re with and your connection to a place that makes it special.
What is happiness?
I’d say that happiness is the feeling when you get the perfect shot, or the sound of a waterfall, or the colours of the sunset. It’s in the little things, but it’s so crucial for us to take the time to notice and feel them.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Probably listening to music with friends. Sometimes we’ll go out to shows, or on little adventures, but sitting on the couch, listening to music, and hanging out is always nice.
What’s your next goal?
My next big goal is to model in Asia. I’ve never been overseas and would love to do so for modelling.
