How discovered:
Walked into an agency in my hometown

Favorite things:
I cannot live without my phone. From it I get all my information from castings and jobs and, of course, I can keep contact with my family and friends. They are everywhere in the world.

What are you listening to at the moment?
I am listening to a lot of R&B and hip hop music. Kanye, Drake, Rihanna, and of course, Beyonce

Favorite movie, tv show:
I am addicted to TV shows, I watch a bunch of them… just for example, I watch The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
Anthony Vacarello. I remember when I first saw this photo of Anja Rubik wearing one of his dresses. I was very fascinated by the silhouette and began researching his designs. I love how he uses cutouts and slits to highlight a woman’s shape in a very sexy but elegant way. I think women feel very confident wearing his clothes.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I think I would be something with art and fashion. Before my first trip I was studying design, and I had this dream to come to New York and work for some magazine.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I don’t think it’s weird but I like to eat salty and sweet food at the same time. Sometimes I cook a few weird things, for example, banana with chicken.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
Coming to NY!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
I am very proud of the culture from my state. We have so many different ways to express ourselves, from food, dance, music… we are very rich in culture and when I think about it it always comes to my mind as something very colourful and happy.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I would love to walk for Versace. I got very impressed by their show in S/S 2016 with the message that they wanted to give about women’s power. And, of course for Chanel.

Place you would love to visit:
The Moon

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Yoga and meditation. I want to get to know better my body and mind and to pass what I think are my limits.
