Answers to Q&A

Why did you want to become a model?

When I was young, I’d walk in my mom’s heels... Up and down the hallway... channeling my inner “Cindy". Since then, I’ve always been completely fascinated by fashion and the modelling industry. I love reading fashion magazines, watching the shows online, and seeing how fashion changes with culture and the seasons.

What makes you special?

I was a competitive figure skater until I was 17, and having the ability to move like a skater has really helped me as a model. As well, I think the work ethic that competitive sports demands helped set me apart, and has been key in helping  me achieve my goals in the industry.

What are you passionate about?

I am a mother now, but my passion for fashion is still strong … and I don’t think it will ever go away. 

If you could give an aspiring model any advice, what would it be?

If I could give advice to aspiring models... it would be to stay focused. Treat modelling like a job, and always be ready from the tip of your head ... to your toes. Travel as much as you can … while you can… because being back at home now, and married with a son,  I am extremely grateful for the the places I have seen and the experiences fashion has given me.

Who is your favourite model?

I have 2, Kate Moss and Laetitia Casta. I just LOVE a face!
