How discovered:
I was 14 years old, leaving a friend’s beach birthday party in Australia when I was first scouted by an agent who just happened to be at the same venue. It wasn’t long after that while at a shopping centre in Perth I was approached by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm. She gave me her card and now here I am!

Best modeling experience so far?
That’s an easy one – my debut for Versace and then walking for Givenchy! It still gives me butterflies thinking about it. Both shows were epic – the atmosphere backstage was electric and walking the runway was the biggest adrenaline rush! On top of that, I got to meet and work with creative, talented, and genuine people.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’ve always been obsessed with card and board games and usually carry a pack of cards in my bag. Over lockdown, my roommates and I would play Monopoly Deal for hours on end (which is a ‘must’ if you haven’t tried it before but be warned, it gets extremely competitive!). I even taught my Grandmother, who ended up being a Monopoly master.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always wanted to try bungee jumping! I like activities that give me an adrenaline rush and since I’ve recently ticked skydiving off the list, bungee jumping is next!

How do you want to make an impact in the world?
I want to make a positive impact, of course…and leave the smallest of ecological footprints. I love to scuba dive and one of the most upsetting things to see is the abundance of plastic waste from human carelessness damaging the underwater ecosystem. This year I will be joining the Plastic Free July Challenge to make more of a conscious effort to reduce my footprint. I know as a society we are slowly heading in the right direction but it’s so important that everyone does their bit and creates awareness.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Don’t chew with your mouth open ;)
