Tell us a little about yourself?



How did you get into modelling?

Well I unintentially got into modeling. I’m a person who mainly says yes to most new opportunities offered to me. I firstly studied Graphic Design and short-course Photography at college. From here I got to know a few other photographers already established in the industry and a few asked me to model for them, as they liked my look. Through my design work and fashion interest I got to know clothing designers who asked me to runway for their shows.





What do you love the most about your career as a model?

I love travelling to different cities and countries. This also enables me to take images of my own while I am out and about someplace new. Next it’s meeting new people who are on the same wavelength as yourself. I have met many fantastic people over the past 6 years and have got into many deep conversations. I also love to see the final piece of what everyone has worked hard for. It’s makes it ever the more satisfying when it is your face on the final piece.



What industry of modeling would you prefer to remain in? Why? ( Ex: Fashion, Lifestyle)
