How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I would describe myself as positive, outgoing and ambitious.
How long have you been a model?
I started modelling in June of 2016
How did you get into modelling?
I had a couple of friends who did some modelling, through them I made a few connections set up some shoots, and that’s how things started for me.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first photoshoot was very exciting but also very nerve racking, I had no idea what I was doing so thankfully the photographer was able to help me and got some great shots. The more the shoot went on the more relaxed I became
What does modelling mean to you?
I have always been extremely self-conscious and never very popular so for me modelling was a way to boost my confidence and show people what I am capable of.
A model you particularly admire?
There are so many incredible models out there, on the high end of the spectrum I really admire Gigi Hadid; she is so down to earth, quirky and simply stunning. I also really admire Nicole Thorne; she is gorgeous and just can’t take a bad photo.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I would love to shoot of in California or Bali, I’ve seen some amazing shots from those locations and would love to have my own.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I’m pretty casual when I don’t have a shoot, I prefer hair up no makeup, usually high waisted denim shorts and a crop.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I would love to live in London, it’s so beautiful and has so many more opportunities to make it big than what Australia does. I also love the accent.
What is happiness?
For me, I think happiness is being able to look in the mirror each day and not critique what you see to love yourself for who you are and not worry about what you could be.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
On a Friday night, you’ll find me having a quite night at home scrolling on my phone with a cup of tea.
What’s your next goal?
My next goal, modelling wise would be to possibly get an agent to get more commercial work and one day I want to walk the Victoria Secret Runway.
