Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
Not really! It started as a simple conversation with a friend, and the more we talked about it, the more interested I became. She mentioned that she knew someone who worked in model scouting, so I asked for their contact and reached out. They invited me to the agency, and that’s how I was discovered by Beth Model Africa.
Most memorable modeling experience so far?
One of my most memorable experiences has been gaining confidence in front of the camera. Every shoot helps me learn more about myself and grow both creatively and personally. My first show was Marni, and it was also the first time I opened a show. I was a little nervous, but it taught me a lot about discipline, timing, and confidence, and really pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.
One song you have on repeat, and why?
“All Over” by Tiwa Savage—it keeps me motivated and puts me in a confident mood.
What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
I love cooking and practicing self-care. Both help me stay focused, disciplined, and confident.
What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always been interested in working in finance, especially as a bank accountant, because I enjoy numbers, organisation, and understanding how money works.
What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
People are often surprised to learn that I’m very calm and focused on set, but quite playful and energetic off set.
What change would you like to see in the world?
I’d love to see more equal opportunities for young people, especially when it comes to education and career growth.
