Answers to Q&A
Why did you want to become a model?
I wanted to become a model because it is a job that allows me to be in touch with my creative and artistic side. I have always appreciated and studied art and fashion, and modeling allows me to do this while also getting to be physically involved, and sometimes, be the art and fashion. I’m so grateful to have a job where I am always in a world of creativity, and be a part of other creative processes and be a part of their journey to manifest their ideas and passions.
I also have the ability to travel, which is very important to me. There are so many places I want to see and experience, and modeling enables me to get to explore the world while working. I then also get to meet so many new friends and people that help me make amazing memories and friendships from all over the world.
What makes you special?
A special thing about me is that I don’t take myself too seriously, which can be hard in this industry. I work hard and am focused, but am also able to really enjoy what I do and have fun with it. I have the ability to lighten up a mood or fill a room with laughter, or create positive energy through being playful. It feels special to have an energy on set that people comment on and remember you by because it made their work day or job better. The modeling industry can be competitive and tough, which is why it’s important to remember how cool of a job it is, and to have fun with it and see where it will take you.
What are you passionate about?
Something I am passionate about is cuisine. I love to cook and bake myself, and explore new restaurants and cuisines. It is a reason why I am so grateful I get to travel through modelling because I get to experience so many different cultures and their food. I get access to so much inspiration for my cooking and baking whether it is exploring on my own, or even through the food I get on set. I am a firm believer that food brings people together, and eating with family and friends is a great way to slow down and spend quality time together. Whether it is cooking or baking the meal myself, or going out somewhere to eat, I love how cuisine is a great tool for me to spend time with my loved ones and make memories. It also makes me the designated birthday cake maker for friends and family, which I love!
When you are not modeling, what do you do on your day off?
On my day off I like to run in the morning and have nice coffee and breakfast after. I am a morning person and enjoy my morning ritual and have time to myself, it sets me up to have a good day.
I also like to draw and paint, so I usually like to try and create a piece of art and experiment if I have a full day free. Sometimes I like to be in the kitchen when I have free time and cook and bake something more intricate or new if I don’t have to be rushed. Making art or food when I am alone and have ample time is very meditative to me, so usually I am trying to do something creative whether it’s through cuisine or paint!
One thing people may be surprised to find out about you.
One thing people are surprised to find out is that I have a background in UX design, which is the design of tech interfaces. I have always been into tech and computers since I was younger and played video games with my brother. He is very knowledgeable about technology and actually built my computer for me. I have always found graphic design interesting due to my artistic side and it encouraged me to learn about UX design.
