How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Tom-boy, Laid-back, easygoing, free-minded
How long have you been a model?
I would say 4-5 years since I got into modeling, but am doing it seriously only since 2 years.
How did you get into modeling?
At first it was just to help a friend who was in art school studying photography, so I had some decent studio shoot in the beginning to put in my book, in age 20 I went on a backpacking trip in Vietnam & Thailand, did my first nude shoot in saigon with a local photographer, had a really positive experience, which made modeling my passion until today.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
For me my real first shooting was my first nude shooting which had unchained my mind for modeling, as what I did before was like posing in a cage,It had a big influence on me mentally which led me to be the me today.
In 2010 at age of 19, I went on my first backpacking trip in Vietnam, I posted a traveling notice on model mayhem, and there was one guy who contacted me, and he proposed me to do a nude shoot, I had absolutely no experience in this field but still I went for the shoot. But all went extremely well. He was really respectful it was nice like a dream. We have become really good friends ever since, and thanks to him I gained the confidence and courage to continue modeling. He made me understand beyond the shoot, the photo, the most important thing is the respect for each other.
What does modelling mean to you?
Now it’s a way of expressing myself through my images and trying out different possibilities in life!

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

What is happiness?
Find what you love and keep doing what you love!
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
At home chilling with my cat.
What’s your next goal?
Travel all over the word and shoot along the way!
