How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Ambitious, stubborn, dreamer.
How long have you been a model?
Nearly two years now.
How did you get into modelling?
Was living with a few model friends and they offered me to try it, just to get some nice photos for myself, so I tried it, loved it and did it as a hobby for a bit, then started looking at it more seriously.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
I found a photographer on one of the portfolio sites, got quick interest just after registering. The shoot was a bit awkward, as I wasn’t sure what to do, so it was a really quick, but I did enjoy it, so had to do it again.
What does modelling mean to you?
Modelling is my passion, it’s a way to express myself and inspire others. I am not the usual tall and skinny model. I’ve always been the rebellious kind, I’m not afraid to show my body and I don’t do it for sexual reasons, it’s more for inspiring others to love themselves and of course I love being a part of art. I have Vitiligo skin condition and no one should be ashamed of imperfections. So that’s the reason why I’m into modelling, it’s a big part of me.
A model you particularly admire?
Adriana Lima.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Somewhere hot, by the beach. Would love to shoot in Bali.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Elegant, but sexy. I wear too much black.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
The goal is to have houses in every continent. I’m not the person who likes to settle in one place.
What is happiness?
Doing what you love and finding your inner peace, so no outside negativity could affect you. Or eating pizza and not getting fat.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Probably in one of the London clubs going crazy or at home with a cup of tea, working, planning, networking.
What’s your next goal?
I’ve set a goal for myself to be the lead actress in at least one movie this year. Yeah, I’m an aspiring actress.
