What inspired you to apply? When I learnt about the competition, I felt very excited at the possibility of being selected and imagined how much I could see and learn during this event.

When did you first want to become a model? A couple of years ago, I was given the opportunity to enter the world of modelling and I really enjoyed it. Since then, I’ve wanted to go as far as I can in this field. To be honest, though, I have enjoyed dressing well and taking photos since I was a child.

 What would it mean to win the contest? It would be a great honor for me to win this competition and have the opportunity to explore the world of modelling, reach my full potential and learn as much as I can.

What are your hobbies and interests? Ever since I was a child, I have loved basketball. I played for many clubs, as well as for my school and university teams. I also really enjoy watching movies of all kinds and reading books that offer meaningful lessons and insights. I’m not a big fan of science fiction books, though.

Are you a morning person or night owl? Night owl.

What's something most people would never guess about you? People would never guess that I am passionate about psychology and enjoy learning about human emotions and relationships.

Describe your personal style in one sentence: Comfy and relaxed.

What is one item in your wardrobe you would save from a fire? My shoes. 

What is the last book you finished? Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse.

Name a creative person (living or from the past) whose life you wish you could live for a day? Lebron James.

Are you in school?I’m in University, in my last semester of studying Odontology. 

What would be your dream career if modelling did not exist? A dentist.

The most spontaneous thing you have ever done: I live by the idea of “do it for the story”, so I have many spontaneous stories. One of them is when I applied for an Erasmus exchange program without any idea of what it would be like. That’s how I ended up living on the other side of the world for six months!

Vacation - beach, mountains or city break? Beach.

How much do you like to prepare? I plan first and then wing it! 

Name the top destination on your bucket list? Italy!
