How discovered:<\/strong>
\nI was scouted on a school trip while shopping.<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nI am a tennis player so always play in my spare time when I’m not modelling. I’ve been playing since I was 5 and my dad is my coach. Father\/coach\/motivator. I love it as I get to travel around competing in tournaments. It’s such a de-stress to play as you can channel all your aggression into the ball on court <\/p>\n

I can’t live without hooped earrings and ever since I’ve had my haircut, sea salt spray is a must otherwise my hair just goes wild.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nMy music preference changes all the time but at the minute I am completely obsessed with the band MY NU LENG and then if I want to chill out I love the song ‘Never Be Like You’ by Flume. <\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nI went through a mega obsession with Prison Break and I am addicted to the film Chalet Girl as I’m a skier myself. I\u2019m a secret adrenaline junky and love the thrill of going down the mountains super fast, so watching it just reminds me of how much I love it.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nEvery season I always watch the Alexander Wang show. I love his clothes and also the haircuts! And of course, being British girl I have to say Burberry! And my signature fragrance is Black Opium by YSL.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nIf I wasn’t a model, I think I would be at university in America on a tennis scholarship. I probably would have gone to one in California so I could play tennis, study, soak up the sun and get surfing lessons. Beach babe at heart. <\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nI have a weird obsession with gherkins. I put them with everythannggggg and can happily just sit and eat them straight from the jar while watching TV. Move over popcorn!<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nWalking for the Dior Cruise show was insane. It was at Blenheim Palace which was so gorgeous and scenic and I have to give a shout out to the catering. They gave us sushi which is my fave, rate it a solid 10\/10. <\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nThe roast dinners, hands down. All is said. <\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nAs they are my favourite designers walking for Alexander Wang and Burberry would be a dream. I think it would be so cool to work for sports companies like Nike as well; I’d love to be able to combine my love for sport and modelling together. <\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nI’ve always wanted to visit Bali, Indonesia. It just looks so surreal and the trekking tours through the jungles on the island look insane. Definitely high up on my bucket list. <\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nAt the moment, I’m constantly on Spotify looking for new playlists and songs that I like. I run a lot so need to constantly find new songs to get me through my workouts\/ castings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
