How discovered:
I applied to my agency back in February because I didn’t get “discovered” but wanted to pursue a modeling career, nevertheless.
Best modeling experience so far?
The Balenciaga show in New York holds a special place in my heart. It was the first time the public was allowed on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange since 9/11. The atmosphere was just insane, and being able to close this epic show was the cherry on top.
Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Besides modeling, I am a full-time dog mom. Taking care of and training my dog takes up most of my time when I am at home. 99% of the day, I’ll be in sweats, my hair not done, and with a big treat pouch, trying to teach my dog a new command.
What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I always wanted to go skydiving. Although I am an adrenaline junkie, I have been too scared to do it. Maybe this is a sign to finally try it.
How do you want to make an impact in the world?
One of my biggest wishes in life is to have an animal sanctuary. Giving animals a second chance in life and treating them how they should have been treated in the first place is the most fulfilling thing I can imagine. Also, I’d love to inspire more people to consider their eating habits and minimize their consumption of animal products.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
To always stay true to myself and trust my gut feeling!
