— An issue or cause you are passionate about:
I am passionate about reminding others of the importance of reading. With technology taking control over our lives, there is nothing better than holding a physical book in your hands and not looking at a screen for a period of time. I think we are losing our attention spans, and technology is the root cause of that.

— How did you become a model?
I was scouted overseas on a holiday. I was waiting for an Uber home at 3 a.m. after a night out with some friends and was approached by an agent. She then got in touch with an agency in my home city, and here we are.

— What are three interesting facts about you?
1. I love watching movies and TV shows – my favourite movie is Blade Runner 2049 and my favourite show is Avatar: The Last Airbender        
2. I have a dog named Benji, who has the same skin and eye color as me.
3. No one has been able to guess my nationality on first guess. It’s always fun hearing different things every time.

Where:
Pinokio Models (Warsaw – mother agency)

— Who is someone you admire and why?
I admire my sister a lot. She’s an artist, and she came a long way to find her independence, her own voice and confidence. I’m younger than her, so she also paved the way for me to grow up in better conditions. She also let me live in her apartment, so that says a lot :) She graduated from the Academy of Arts and inspired me to go.

— If you could talk to your younger self, what advice would you give?
I think I’d tell myself not to overthink life, that It’s gonna be okay. I’d also tell him not to be too harsh on himself, that everyone makes mistakes, and that mistakes make you learn and grow.

— What are three interesting facts about you?
1. I love meeting new people. I love seeing new perspectives and hearing different life stories because it’s super inspiring for me to learn and hear about someone’s outlook on life, even when it’s drastically different than mine.
2. I’m an introverted person, and I actually love spending time at home by myself. For some reason, everyone I meet assumes otherwise – that I’m actually a loud and outgoing person. Don’t know why; I just love to meet people, even though I’m sometimes overwhelmed and overstimulated after.
3. I love experimental music; the weirder, the better! I love exploring new artists all the time, and I listen to music all the time. I love hip-hop, ambient, noise music; you name it! A day without hearing a new song from Spotify radio just doesn’t happen :)

I never want to read Crime and Punishment again due to it being the most boring book ever written.

— What stresses you out?
Slow walkers and loud talkers.

— If you could talk to your younger self, what advice would you give?
I admire my late grandpa, who seemed to be extremely talented in everything he did and managed to master all of that. I lack precision when starting new things, so I see that worth admiring :-)

— Who is your favorite entertainer?
Shu Qi. I like her calmness and indifference to fame after experiencing all kinds of hardships, her simple and natural beauty, her confident and fearless smile.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
They are surprised that I like to do handicrafts such as knitting and clay quietly, which may be different from most people’s leisure ways. When making handicrafts, I feel that the world is very quiet, and the finished product will be very fulfilling and unique in the world.

— What’s a story your family/friends like to tell about you?
My family often talks to my neighbors about embarrassing things that happened when I was a child. For example, I was chased by several dogs from the hillside into a temple; my parents laughed at me, watching me cry and run at the foot of the mountain.
