Working in retail at 17 I was exposed to new people daily. A few customers advised I sign up, but when one old lady asked why me \u201cwhy are you working at the till when you should be at the front of the store window\u201d a turning point started. Polaroids taken by a close friend at university and 14 walk-ins later, Select gave me the chance I needed to show everyone what I\u2019m made of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nHaving my face plastered at the front of every Flannels store in the UK, the smile that gave my mum is something you can\u2019t buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nGenuinely? Spending time with my people. Lockdown really showed me the importance of maintaining physical contact with the people we love; you never know what\u2019s next so enjoy your time now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is something you\u2019ve always wanted to do\/try?<\/strong><br \/>\nI actually really want to learn Spanish, act, and be a dancer in a music video, all of those things are mad cool to me I can\u2019t lie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you want to make an impact in the world?<\/strong><br \/>\nI want everyone to have self-love!!! Whoever is reading this, no one can do you better than you, take that and fly with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can\u2019t please everyone.
