How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Hard working, independent, strong and always in for adventure
How long have you been a model?
Six months.
How did you get into modelling?
I started by chance, the photographer that I mostly shoot with (Bart Peeters) put a picture online that he was looking for models and nude/lingerie shoots where on my bucket list, so I just send him a text in hopes for the best.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
I was a bit nervous because I wasn’t sure I would be good at it. But the photographer was really nice and he didn’t make me feel weird or anything. And I loved it so much, by now I’m addicted.
What does modelling mean to you?
I love modelling, it makes me feel awesome and confident about my body. And I’m always super proud of the pictures and surprised it"s me in the pictures. And with every shoot I do, I just want to do more.
A model you particularly admire?
Carla Van Der Sanden, she’s such a natural and she’s super stunning in literally every picture. And when I saw her pictures I knew I wanted to do the shoots too.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I lived on the Gold Coast, Australia for a year and it would be awesome to shoot there.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Sneakers, sweaters and cute socks
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Somewhere where it’s sunny and winter doesn’t really exist
What is happiness?
Happiness is feeling good about yourself and doing whatever you like, whenever you like it, without too many cares.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
At a bar, having a few drinks with my friends.
What’s your next goal?
To become faster (running and cycling) and stronger (Crossfit) so I can achieve a lot of my fitness goals for this year like run the Antwerp 10 miles in under 1h30 and do 5 pull-ups in a row.
