Favorite things:
I always like to see progression, whether it’s in sport, study, art or music. The things I enjoy doing most are the things I can practice and progress in, so most of my free time is spent on a piano, or running around on a sports field.

Favorite music, band:
My music taste is messed up. One day I’ll listen to classical Bach and the next day old school rap like Mobb Deep. Generally I’m into everything, except that junk with people screaming, haha! Don’t see the attraction there.

Favorite movie, tv show:
Favourite movie overall is probably Forrest Gump, I think Tom Hanks is great, all of his movies are good. I don’t really watch TV so I couldn’t say there, I don’t have time for it and I’d rather watch a movie anyway ;)

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
My eyes have been opened to so many brands since working in fashion and I think I discover a new line every day. Hmmm, it’s difficult… I really like Prada, Dior and Paul Smith. All very different but all really nice… and actually wearable!

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
Most likely I would be studying science as I am now… Except I would have higher grades!

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
Table tennis, I play once a week, it’s pretty uncool but way too fun to care.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
I’ve worked with and met so many nice and talented people and I’ve only been modelling for a short amount of time. Meeting people from all over the world has been a great experience! Opens your mind!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
I live just outside London in British countryside, so I get some quiet but I’m not too far away from where the party is at ;). And I guess an advantage of being British is that everyone speaks your language, unless you want to learn another language, then that just makes it really hard.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Any brand big enough for my mum to recognise hahah! Nah, I’m kidding, but I’d love to work for a big high fashion brand like Prada, Burberry, YSL… Then again what model wouldn’t?! I suppose that’s a common response!

Place you would love to visit:
I’ve never been to America so I’m really excited to visit New York – hopefully soon! I have heard good things

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Learning French! Such a musical language, really want to learn. It’s like singing and talking at the same time.
