Answers to Q&A
Why did you want to become a model?
My passion for fashion ignited at age six when my mom handed me her fashion magazines, encouraging me to cut out my favorite outfits and paste them into a plain notebook. That simple act sparked a lifelong love affair with fashion. As a child who was often bullied and felt like a misfit, clothes became my language of self-expression. From a young age, I knew I wanted to immerse myself in the fashion world, and modeling became my gateway. Each outfit I wear tells a unique story, with every walk bringing that story to life. Modeling has not only allowed me to express my identity but has also taken me to incredible places and introduced me to amazing friends around the world.
What makes you special?
I truly believe that everyone has something unique and special to offer and that we can all learn from each other. What sets me apart, as I've been told, is my sense of humor and my ability to create a comfortable and safe space for those around me.
Additionally, I am relentless in pursuing my career; I have flown across the world to numerous countries to chase and achieve my dreams.
What are you passionate about?
I am deeply passionate about acting and traveling. Just like my love for fashion, it spilled over the acting. It has let me dive into different characters and express myself through their stories. Traveling, on the other hand, broadens my perspective, exposing me to diverse cultures and people I might never have encountered otherwise.
What are you super interested in that most people have never heard of?
I am fascinated by longevity and brain health. During a challenging period in my life, I delved into neuroscience and began applying its principles to my daily routine. This journey has been transformative, and I continue to educate myself even to this date.
If you could give an aspiring model any advice, what would it be?
When I started as a teenager compared to now, entering the modeling world today is tougher than ever, especially with the rise of influencer culture. But always remember your core heart’s why! When you find your purpose, you will find a way to make it happen, and the journey will be incredibly rewarding. Also, be careful and educate yourself to avoid scams!
