Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
I never thought about modeling until my mother agency scouted me on the street. Took me a while to understand this industry, but it’s definitely my pleasure to be a part of it.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
Hmm, I can’t quite decide… my first casting was with DM Casting in China, and they were super supportive right from day one—I’m so grateful for that. Then, my first campaign was for Burberry, cast by Anita from Establishment NY, and it was truly a magical experience.

One song you have on repeat, and why?
Moonlight by XXXTentacion.

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
I love traveling and experiencing nature, especially mountain climbing.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always wanted to try skydiving—it seems like the ultimate adrenaline rush and a way to see the world from a completely different perspective.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
Haha, I’m not really sure—guess you’ll have to stick around and find out!

What change would you like to see in the world?
I’d love to see a world with fewer wars and more focus on peace. It’s about fostering understanding and dialogue, resolving conflicts through compassion, and building a future where cooperation triumphs over violence. Peace isn’t just the absence of war—it’s the presence of justice, equality, and mutual respect across all nations.
