Best modeling experience so far?
My first job was to shoot in Rome (my first time there as well) the Burberry F/W 2021 ad campaign with Mert & Marcus. Riccardo [Tisci], the whole team and the models were very friendly and I felt like part of a big family. I‘ll always be grateful for such a great experience.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
To try different disciplines and sports. I would like to try athletics (high jump and obstacle race).

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
Travel as much as possible and get to know new cultures and customs; see the world from different points of view. In particular, I would like to visit Asia one day.

How do you want to make an impact in the world?
I think accepting those who are different from us is the most important value to propagate. A lot of people discriminate because they don’t understand when someone is different from them or has a different opinion (whether it is due to ethnicity, diversity, sexual orientation, disability, etc.). One day I would like to be remembered as a kind person always cheerful.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Always be open-minded to others’ opinions but try to put all your energy and fight for something you believe in.
