How discovered:
I’ve been obsessed with fashion since I was a child. I met my agent on Instagram.

Best modeling experience so far?
My memorable experience was my debut for Etro in Milan. I was so nervous, but in the end, I did it.

Song you have on repeat:
Hold My Hand by Michael Jackson

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
I love playing basketball.

Something you have always wanted to try:
I’ve always wanted to be an actor. I’m so obsessed with film, and I want this dream to come true.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
People would be surprised that I’m socially selective.

What change would you like to see in the world?
I just want to see peace reigning the world. I want to see the world as a better place. A place where we’re not defined by skin or where we come from. A place where we’re defined by who we truly are.
