— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
I was raised with the idea that beauty was the one we see in beauty contests. For me, makeup was a must. I dyed my hair since I was very young. When my mother agency found me, all my photos on Instagram were with makeup and blonde hair. I looked much older than my age at that time (18 years old), however, they were able to see my model potential beyond this makeup and hair so they asked me for natural digitals. They loved my look and asked me to dye my hair back to my natural color. Nowadays I rarely wear makeup, my hair is healthy and natural again, and I have learned to appreciate my true and natural beauty.
— Who is someone you admire and why?
Working as a model you get to know so many interesting and admirable people however the person I admire the most is my mom. I admire her courage and strength to single raise me. She is my mother and my father, she has been in literally every step of my life and she has taught me the values that define me as a person. I will be forever grateful for her supporting my dreams and giving me so much love.
— Your most embarrassing moment:
My most embarrassing moment was definitely at the Missoni FW20 show. The shoes were super small and I was tripping at the end of the show. I felt super bad because I really respect the work of the designers so I sent a DM to Angela Missoni apologizing for this. She was super kind and told me that she was the one who was sorry. She said that it was not my fault, the shoes were too small and that I did great. She told me that most of the models experience this type of situations sometimes. Days after she sent me an old video of Gisele Bündchen tripping during a Missoni show. This made me feel relaxed about it as I was really worried.
