How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Honest, Fun, High Energy, Outgoing, Positive, Driven.
How long have you been a model?
Since I was about 19 so 5/6 years.
How did you get into modelling?
I have always been open to all opportunities and I like to let life just happen without the pressure of expectations and everything has kind of just happened for me. It all starts with saying YES.
How was your first time shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
I have always loved the. If I ever saw a camera during my childhood I would run and jump in front of it haha but my first professional photoshoot was just a casual one with a friend of mine in her apartment in Brisbane city. I was hooked from then on.
What does modelling mean to you?
Modelling to me has been an essential part of my creative expression.
A model you particularly admire?
Cara Delevingne – She is the perfect balance of being badass and being beautifully humble.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Anywhere tropical. Maldives, Hawaii, Fiji etc.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Haha that is still undecided. I dress to how I feel. Somedays its bogan casual, others are very colourful and boho, other days all black everything. Mostly I live in active wear as I do a lot of fitness and adventuring.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I love living on the Gold Coast but I would love to move a little closer to Byron so I can have more land and less surrounding noise but still be close to the beach.
What is happiness?
I used to be very lost and confused growing up and the moment I stopped caring about what other people thought of me and focused on what and how I feel about myself that’s when my happiness began. I stopped letting the negativity from the outside world from cluttering my mind and stopped it from determining how I should look, feel and live. I live by my own standards now and I couldn’t be happier.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
You can find me with my boyfriend and puppies cuddled up as a family enjoying each other’s company. Either sitting around a fire, Netflix + chill or on an adventure somewhere.
What’s your next goal?
To buy a block of land and build my dream house (Eco ship) and do a bit more travelling to some tropical islands.
