How discovered:
I sent pictures to Aylin / Owner of Girls Club Management in July this year after her agency got recommended to me! My life has changed so much since then- in a good way :)

Best modeling experience so far?
Definitely walking Loewe as my debut show in Paris! It’s so incredibly exciting to walk a show, be backstage with all the other models and get to know some of them. My whole perception of the fashion industry changed and I got to experience how it really is, which I’m very grateful for.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with reading. I read a book a day if I want to. I quit reading excessively for a while, but now I’m back on it! Since I finished school in spring, my brain has not been as challenged and reading has helped me with that. I have also turned into a more active person over the last few months. I can’t go a day without going somewhere, moving my body and clearing my mind.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
To this day I didn’t get the chance to see my family in São Paulo. Seeing everything through my phone screen cannot be comparable with the real thing and I’m dying to see Brazil’s amazing landscape. Going there is definitely on top of my bucket list. I also wanted to try surfing for so long. I love the ocean and I loved skateboarding a couple of years ago, so why not combine the two?

How do you want to make an impact in the world?
I stopped eating meat (and reduced my consumption of animal products in general) a few years ago after we discussed the impact we have on climate change and our environment in school. Since then, I have been more aware of my way of living and try to adopt better habits in my everyday life. On a more personal level, I want to be remembered as someone you can feel comfortable and safe around but also someone you would have a lot of fun with.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Be happy with what you have and work for what you want.
