How discovered:
I sent an application myself, thought it could be a fun way to fill out my study loans if I got the chance. As a coincidence, right after I was scouted by Elite Stockholm when I was attending a local fashion fair.

Favorite things:
Spend time with my family and friends. I love to cook and practice different sports, especially basketball!

Favorite music, band:
I have a very mixed taste of music! It pretty much depends on my mood at the moment. If I have to name one favorite singer it has to be Beyoncé! I totally adore her, such a beautiful woman and a voice to die for!

Favorite movie, tv show:
I don’t watch tv that much, but I like to have it running in the background when I’m home just to hear people talking. I also like to watch cooking programs to get tips and inspiration for my own cooking. I have many favorite movies, I love comedies like “Dumb & Dumber” but also moving autobiographies like “Desert Flower”.

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
I think every brand has it’s own charm! It all depends on how you wear it, if you feel nice you will look nice! My favorite fragrance is Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I would study law at Stockholm’s university, as I do now. I would also maybe get back to play basketball again which has been a big part of my life the last ten years.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I am a real Harry Potter fan, I have lost counting of how many times I’ve watched the films… I’m quite an early bird too, I like to get up early in the mornings to get as much as possible of the day.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
I have only been modeling for a couple of weeks, but have already got the chance to work with some really talented people. At one photo shoot I did last week I got to wear really fancy clothes, my favorite was a big handmade hat and a beautiful pair of long sleeved gloves with sequins on them. I felt like a princess!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
Since I no longer live in my hometown, the best thing is to come home and just spend time with my family and friends. My favorite place is at my parents at the countryside, it is so beautiful and quiet there.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Versace, Prada, Saint Laurent, Michael Kors, Chanel, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana… the list goes on, I would like to model for all different kinds of brands! Some of my dreams are to one day become one of the Victoria Secret angels and walk their show, or be the face of a huge brand like Chanel.

Place you would love to visit:
I would love to go to Australia, or South Africa, or LA and watch a real NBA game.. Actually I would like to visit all different kinds of places around the world, haha, it is hard to just pick one!

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Coffee! And lip balm, I always carry one with me wherever I go.
