How discovered:
I was discovered on Instagram while visiting friends in NY. I randomly met with a photographer. I started posting outfit pictures and my first agent at Natural contacted me. Funny story – I thought the contract was a scam and almost didn’t sign it.

Best modeling experience so far?
Coming back to France to shoot my first cover story! There are others like the Fenty show and overseas shoots but this one’s really dear to me.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’ve been obsessed with organizing. I just moved into my new apartment. I had professional organizers come in. I was amazed at their patience to put everything together. Finding space for each container was mind-blowing, lol. Everything in my apartment has a place now and it’s so satisfying!

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always wanted to try to get back on sports I was doing younger: tennis & ice skating. Maybe I’ll finally get a chance this year!

How do you want to make an impact in the world?
I’d like to be remembered as someone who pushed boundaries and was resilient and strong. Overall leave a positive mark on people’s lives.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Dreams without goals are just dreams.
