— If you were to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of your life, what would it be and why?
I would choose “Sports Car” by Tate McRae. For me, the song represents confidence, freedom, and a sense of momentum. It has a bold and modern energy that reflects the phase I am currently in: I know more clearly what I want, I trust myself, and I am ready to take on new opportunities. At the same time, the song has a playful and fearless attitude that I can identify with. It reminds me to enjoy the journey, stay authentic, and move forward with confidence.

— How did you become a model?
My journey into modeling started quite unexpectedly. A hobby photographer reached out to me and invited me to do a photo shoot. I decided to take the opportunity, and I immediately enjoyed the experience of being in front of the camera. What began as something spontaneous quickly became a real passion. Modeling gives me the opportunity to express different sides of my personality, transform creatively, and continuously challenge myself. Since then, I have focused on gaining experience, building my portfolio, and developing my own presence and style.

— Tell us about your hometown.
I come from the Rhine-Main region in Germany, a dynamic and diverse area with Frankfurt at its center. What I appreciate most is the contrast: it offers the energy, international atmosphere, and opportunities of a major urban region while still being close to nature and quieter places. It is an inspiring environment because so many different people, cultures, and lifestyles come together there. The downside is that life can sometimes feel fast-paced, and the traffic can be challenging. Nevertheless, the region has shaped me and taught me to be open-minded, ambitious, and adaptable.

— What’s a story your family or friends like to tell about you?
When I was four, I was playing at my grandfather’s funeral, completely unaware of how sad everyone was feeling. When the hearse arrived, I immediately realized it was there to take my grandfather’s body away. I looked at the man who got out of the car and innocently asked, “Mister, mister, are you the one who’s going to take the dead guy?” Everyone burst out laughing!

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
