— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
My favorite book is The Shadow of the Wind. The story is captivating; it has love, intrigue, and immersive historical atmosphere. The book resonates with me on a deeply personal level because it takes place in my home city, Barcelona, the place where I was born and currently reside. Walking through the very streets described in the novel adds a magical layer of intimacy to the entire reading experience.

— An issue or cause you are passionate about:
I am very passionate about taking care of the environment. It is very important to me to respect nature, protect wildlife, and try to live a bit more sustainably. I’m always trying to do my part, like cutting down on single-use plastic, being smarter about what I buy, and just being mindful of the world around us. Plus, animals are great, and they deserve to live in a clean, healthy home.

— Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?
My happiest childhood memories are the weekends I spent skiing with my family and friends. My brother and I used to take classes with two close friends, and it was so much fun, especially on days when it snowed heavily, and we could ski off-piste. The trip to the mountains was also really special; we spent so much time talking with my parents, playing games, and listening to music, which has shaped my current music taste. I’m really happy that I can still enjoy these moments with my family.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
One of my favorite films is Satoshi Kon’s Perfect Blue. Firstly, I absolutely love the soundtrack; it’s haunting and beautiful. But more importantly, I really connected with the themes the film explores. Though the film came out in the 90s, I think it tackles something that feels incredibly relevant today, especially for models or anyone active on social media: that confusing, disorienting fragmentation between the persona we project online and who we actually are in real life.
