When did you first want to become a model? I remember it very well. It was during my first shoot with a professional team: a hair stylist, a makeup artist, two photographers and stylists. When we were finally ready to shoot and everyone was standing around me, I realised that I was bringing everyone’s art to life. It was such a beautiful moment - that's when I knew I wanted to pursue modelling.

What are you most looking forward to learning at the Elite Model Look World Final? If I’m honest, I’m not sure what to expect, but that’s also the exciting part: the adventure and the chance to learn so many new things. I hope to see myself grow through this journey.

Who are your model or fashion heroes? The first models I really looked up to were Shalom Harlow and Yasmin Wijnaldum. They both really inspired me to start modelling, mostly because of their runway presence. Yasmin is also from the Netherlands, just like me!

What was the last app you opened today? Spotify.

What are your hobbies and interests? I’ve danced since I was 3 years old. I’ve practiced many styles but ballet will always be my favourite. I’m passionate about many art forms other than dance. I could listen to music all day, every day. I also love museums, learning history and languages and cooking and baking.

Do you believe in star signs? I don’t know a lot about the signs, but I definitely think there is some truth behind them. I think everything to do with the moon and stars is magical.

What is a small thing that makes you happy? There are so many! I like to pay attention to small things. I love having small interactions with strangers, it really makes my day. Or seeing butterflies or ladybugs, small things like that can really make me happy.

What is one item in your wardrobe you would save from a fire? Recently I’ve been loving my maxi skirts, so probably one of those!

Name a designer you would wear head to toe! Jonathan Anderson, but Tom Ford is a close second.

What is a song that always lifts your mood? You Rock My World by Michael Jackson.

Name a creative person (living or from the past) whose life you wish you could live for a day? Maybe Monet. He’s my favorite painter. I would love to see the world through his eyes since the way he portrays the world in his paintings is so magical.

Are you in school? No, I finished high school last year and I’m not sure what I want to study yet.

What are your favourite subjects to study? I love history and languages.

The most spontaneous thing you have ever done: Going to London on my own to pursue modelling a month after my 18th birthday.

Vacation - beach, mountains or city break? Beach.

What is your coffee shop order? Either a classic cappuccino or an americano when I need more of a boost. No sugar.

What do you want people to remember about you? I hope people remember me as a positive person and that I made them feel seen and heard.
