\nVirgo<\/p>\n

How discovered:<\/strong>
\nI won Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 and a part of the prize was a contract with Priscillas Model Management, who are now my mother agency. I then met with Marilyns Paris and D’Management on a scouting trip to Australia and in New York I met with DNA and Premier, and was signed within a couple of months!<\/p>\n

What was your first modeling job?<\/strong>
\nMy first international job was walking for Saint Laurent in Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear. It was a big moment for me so of course I was nervous, but more excited. <\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nI enjoy watching movies, going for walks, being with family and friends, yoga, listening to music, cooking, going out to cafes, etc. all very relaxed everyday enjoyment.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nI will honestly listen to anything, any music, any genre, I just enjoy having something on and depends a lot on the mood I am in at that moment. I have been listening a lot to bands in an upcoming festival I am going to in Australia.<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nMy favourite movie is Shawshank Redemption, I’ve only watched it once but that was all it took. My favourite TV show is Walking Dead. I’ll watch anything, except horror. <\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI have always loved Dior. Just such beautiful designs. The perfume I usually wear is Chanel Chance Eau Vive. Everyday I use Micellar water to clean my face, then use a foaming cleanser in the shower and always moisturise afterwards. An average once a week I like to exfoliate and do a face mask. <\/p>\n

What were you doing before modeling?<\/strong>
\nI was at school studying, living in my old house a few hours out of Sydney with my family. Completely different lifestyle to now.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nI would be at school still, studying for my HSC, probably with a part time job and living at my old house. After modelling is still a bit of a mystery, getting through day by day at the moment. I have goals I’d like to achieve one day, but I am happy with what I am doing and where I am in life right now. <\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nI don’t know if it is “uncool”, but I watch a lot cooking videos, cake decorating etc. I always seem to just drift into watching them while I have free time and can entertain me for hours. <\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nShooting the Balmain campaign.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nOther than family and friends, Australia is the best for so many reasons. I miss being there. I love the weather, the beaches, the people, the culture. The best thing would be the comfort of being there, I always feel at home anywhere I am. I am very fortunate to live in such a great place. <\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nI’ve always wanted to go to the Greek Islands. Right now anything that requires laying around and being completely relaxed appeals to me. But I would go anywhere tropical with beautiful weather, great foods and beaches so I can swim!!<\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nNutrition, I have been doing lots of research into foods and effects of foods on the body etc. I think healthy living is very important and I am very passionate about looking after your physical and mental health. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong>
\nEverything happens for a reason. I think that says everything, it’s hard to accept a lot of the time but I guess it gets me through a lot of my ups and downs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
