Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
I was working alongside my dad and at the time I didn’t have much knowledge on the modeling world but with people always saying I should be a model because I have the body and height for it so I went on a search to find agencies but I had no luck and gave up on that idea.. couple months after I saw a model agency page pop up randomly on my instagram and the fact that they were having a model search in my parish I just took that as my sign.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
Walking my first show for Valentino and closing it at the same time will always be a memorable experience for me. I also was in love with my outfit for the Miu Miu show.

One song you have on repeat, and why?
I don’t necessarily have any song on repeat. It all depends on what mood I’m in and what songs matches that

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
I was learning to draw and had stopped but hopefully I’ll get back into it soon.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always wanted to travel the world and experience what it’s like to be in other countries and lucky for me, this career has made me able to see so many new places.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
I have a fun and goofy side that no one really sees.

What change would you like to see in the world?
A system where people aren’t limited by where they were born, their background, or social status, but have genuine chances to succeed based on their efforts and talents.
