1. Ana Pau, tell us how you started your modeling career and what were your first steps in the industry?
Ana Pau: I started at age 15 when Fernando Poil, agent and founder of Not Models in Guadalajara, found me through Instagram and contacted us. My first job was a lookbook for an Intermoda brand precisely with Fer as a photographer. Then through Not we contacted Mau Medellín de Wanted in Mexico City and thanks to them both my career has taken a big boost and I know I still have a lot to do, but I am in good hands.
2. Being a model is not as easy as many of us think, so tell us a little about all the effort that this career demands? How do you cope with the pressure that the media demands?
Ana Pau: I have to be very organized to take the school and the modeling at the same time, there are days when I wake up finishing projects to deliver them before, and the next day I fly to go to work. I take care of my diet with the help of professionals and I exercise constantly doing muay thai, I love this sport. I also receive a lot of support from my family in all aspects.
