How discovered:

What was your first modeling job?
My first modeling job was in Milan. It was the look book of Marco Di Vincenzo.

Favorite things:
I love to read and listen music! I also can’t live without my teddy bear.

I listen to Beyonce most of the time!

Favorite movie, tv show:
My favorite movies are “Ma première fois” which means ‘my first time’, and “Love, Rosie”

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
I have many designers that I really like, but there is not one that’s specifically my favorite. They are all doing different things but always in their own style and that’s I think my favorite thing about them.
I don’t have specific product except some lip balm– I always have a few ones in my bag.

What were you doing before modeling?
I was studying in high school.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I wouldn’t be modeling I would have still been studying. After modeling I would like to work with children!

Favorite modeling experience so far?
I think the Chanel shows… I’m always really surprised by the decor and feel like they couldn’t do better until the next one which surprises me again and again.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Victoria’s Secret!

Place you would love to visit:
Canada. I don’t really know why but for years I have wanted to go there.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
To live each day of my life as if it was the last one.
