— What’s your most prized possession and why?
I have two fluffy bunnies named Crouton and Poppy, who are 8 and 5 years old, and they are the reason why I call myself the Bunny Whisperer. My relationship with them is parallel to Daenerys and her dragons from Game of Thrones.
— Your most embarrassing moment:
My third test shoot took place outdoors with a lot of water and rocks. The photographer wanted me on a specific rock for a shoot, and as I tried to make my way to the rock, I jumped and slipped in front of the other models and fell really hard on my knees. Now both my knees are still extremely bruised.
— What are three interesting facts about you?
1. I was born in Dubai and lived in Hong Kong for four years. I visit Hong Kong really often to see relatives and because I absolutely love the food and environment (p.s. I speak Mandarin and can understand some Cantonese).
2. Starting at seven years old, I’ve been dancing ballet and playing the Chinese zither in my Chinese music ensemble. My favorite place to perform with my ensemble is at the farmer’s market because people who are strolling by are always really appreciative of our traditional music.
3. I really love drawing characters with creepy facial expressions. I’m inspired by Stephen King’s original character Pennywise and Tim Burton’s animation in Corpse Bride.
