How discovered:

Favorite things:
I’m a food fanatic. I absolutely love food, or should I say I absolutely love fruit. I can’t go a day without a large quantity of fruit, usually bananas, my roommates think I’m the strangest person, haha

Favorite music, band:
I usually just listen to the same albums on repeat for ages until someone forces me to listen to something else. Currently I’m listening to Sam Smith and Hozier.

Favorite movie, tv show:
I like loads of different types of movies. My favourite genre is psychological thriller, the movies you can’t guess the endings to. As for tv shows, currently I’m watching Breaking Bad for the first time to see what all the hype about it was, it’s really good so far.

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
Best beauty products I would recommend are coconut oil, good diet and a good night’s sleep.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I weren’t modelling I’d like to think that I would be near to getting a degree in Psychology, or Nutrition and Health. I’d still like to do these things if I have time later on down the track.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I really love spending time with myself. Sounds corny, I know, haha, but even just going for walks without music or my phone so that I can really just be with my own thoughts. Really keeps me focused and reminds me of my goals.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
I know I will make many more favourite memories in the days to come but so far my favourite moment would be meeting the designers behind the shows, from big shows like Victoria Beckham to more local shows, everything is so busy backstage but there’s this moment when the designer looks over the collection and you can just see how proud they are of their collection. That’s my favourite moment.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
The best thing about being home is how clear and beautiful the night sky is. I grew up in the country where at night the whole sky is absolutely filled with stars, it’s the most breathtaking thing. I miss that when I go to big cities.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I admire all brands and designers, I really can’t pick just one!

Place you would love to visit:
New York. Hands down. It seems like a dream to me to be able to go there. It’s like a place that doesn’t really exist in my head until I’m standing in Times Square myself.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’ve been spending way too much time with my head stuck in a book. I just read some excellent titles, The China Study, 80/10/10, No Meat Athlete and the Low Carb Myth. Satisfying my thirst for information about nutrition one book at a time.
