How did you get discovered & what were you doing prior to modeling in your early years?
I was scouted 3 years ago on my very first day in Paris. But I was finishing my engineering studies back then. And after 2 years as a headhunter, I decided to quit to travel and thought being a model was a good way to do it.
People would be surprised to know that I...
I was a trainee in an oil & gas company and then graduated as a mechanical engineer. I decided to be a headhunter in a start-up working mostly with oil & gas companies. I ended up being responsible for 16 engineers before quitting for modeling.
What's your latest obsession?
Currently, all it matters to me is my career as a model. My ambition is to achieve a career like all the greats in the business, it will take hard work and effort to achieve it...I know I can do it!
Your most prize possession?
What I own and I really care about is my relationship with Allen, my agent. What he has done for me so far is truly amazing and I will owe him forever!
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
My dad! Who took care of all four of his children with love after the death of my mom , she passed away after giving birth to twins (my brother and me).
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
The last time I said "I Love You" was to my ex-girlfriend when we broke up about a few months ago after 5 years because of my new job as a model. We are still friends and maintain a friendly relationship!
