How discovered:
Without my knowledge my mum sent photos of me to a number of agencies. Then she told me we were going to the supermarket but instead we ended up at the doorstep of an agency where she had secretly organised a meeting.

What was your first modeling job?
My first job was ridiculous! Myself and three other guys were body painted in gold suits and instructed to walk around a function holding pot plants. By the end of the night I was seriously questioning what my mum had gotten me into.

Favorite things:
Sport would be my most enjoyable pastime, particularly basketball or Australian Rules Football but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t spend a large majority of my time on Instagram.

What are you listening to at the moment?
I love such a variety of music genres but at the moment I’m torn between Khalid’s album American Teen and a playlist I’ve named ‘things my parents listened to’ which has a lot of old rock and music from the 80s.

Favorite movie, tv show:
I’m a guilty binge watcher of Suits! And my favourite movie has to be Peter Pan or The Beach.

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
Balmain always seems to put on a great show with awesome clothes. But as for beauty products I’m extremely lazy. I think the best thing for my skin is getting in the Ocean and drinking lots… of water.

What were you doing before modeling?
Before modelling I was in High School and working for a freight company packing boxes.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I wasn’t modelling I would probably be at university studying economics or commerce… absolutely riveting stuff.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I have this thing about wearing shoes that I know none of my mates would wear and it drives them insane.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
A favourite experience is hard to choose but I love that modelling has given me the opportunity to travel and meet heaps of cool people.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
The weather in Australia is hard to beat! Plus Australia has all round good vibes and good fruit.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I’d love to walk for Balmain or Versace. As for a dream photographer to work with it’s hard to go past Mario Testino.

Place you would love to visit:
The scenery and culture in Sri Lanka make it a place I’d certainly love to visit but the Greek islands are on my list as well.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’m always obsessed with music but recently I can’t stop watching conspiracy theory documentaries.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
The best advice I have ever received is from my dad, which is ‘Girls are always right, even when they are wrong.’ This has saved me from numerous conflicts. And a motto I live by is ‘Good vibes only.’
