When did you first want to become a model? Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of becoming a successful model. I loved learning about the industry, watching movies and above all, practicing poses and runway walking.

What are you most looking forward to learning at the Elite Model Look World Final? I’m open to learning from everything and making the most of every opportunity that comes my way. I hope to gain new experiences that will help me grow, develop and prepare for the future.

Who are your model or fashion heroes and why? I admire Coco Chanel for revolutionising women’s fashion, Princess Diana for her timeless elegance and confidence and Cindy Crawford for her professionalism, longevity and influence in the fashion industry. I admire the impact they had on the world and the way they stayed true to themselves.

Three words you would use to describe yourself: Creative, resilient and positive. 

What's something most people would never guess about you? That I’m shy.

Best piece of advice you have ever been given: Persistence is the key to success. 

Who is your style icon? Bella Hadid.

What Instagram accounts are you most obsessed with? I’m obsessed with fashion, cooking and sports accounts.

Name a designer you would wear head to toe! Coco Chanel. 

What is a song that always lifts your mood? La Tortura by Shakira.

What is the last book you finished? The Tunnel by Ernesto Sabato.

What is a skill you are proud of? My artistic skills and my talent for sports.

Tell us about a cause you care about: One cause I care deeply about is the well-being of orphaned children waiting to be adopted. I feel very fortunate to have grown up in a loving and supportive family and I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Every child deserves that same sense of love, security and belonging, which is why this cause is so important to me.

A moment that changed how you see yourself: My first photoshoot. I have always been a shy and somewhat insecure person, so it was a big challenge for me. However, seeing the photos and the confidence I projected made me realise that I was far more capable than I had thought.

How phone addicted are you? I go off the grid when I can. 

What is your coffee shop order? A cappuccino.

What do you want people to remember about you? I’d like people to remember me as someone who is resilient, authentic and kind.
