Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
I was a college student studying graphic design at the time, and after a bunch of years of learning drawing, I was feeling a bit lost and bored. So at the moment, I just wanted to try something different. In my senior year of high school, I was spotted by a photographer on the way to school, but I officially started stepping into the modeling because my mother agent scouted me on the internet.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
I did one video with a young Dalmatian last end of year, it’s Mango digital campaign. All the baby boy wanted was to run to mom, we had to keep giving him cookies to get his attention. I don’t think he’s gonna be able to eat cookies for the next three weeks.

One song you have on repeat, and why?
Etude for the Dreamer by Jennifer Thomas, it gives me energy during cardio.

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
Visiting museums and finding my favorite paintings from childhood.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
Walking on New Zealand’s bridges.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
When I eat bananas and apples, I break them in half with my hands.

What change would you like to see in the world?
I believe that translation software and technology will grow unpredictably fast, language is no longer a limit. People might use a screen like Tony Stark in the movie Iron Man in ten years.
