What are you most looking forward to learning at the Elite Model Look World Final? Learning more about the industry, cultures of the other finalists and to keep improving myself!

Did you apply online? Yes, I actually applied online to Elite Model Look Italia back in 2024 since Elite Model Look Philippines didn’t exist yet. I first heard about Elite Model Look through social media and by following the international modelling scene. In May 2025, I received an invitation to a casting for EML Italia, but I couldn’t attend because I was in the Philippines. Then, in July 2025, everything came full circle when Elite Model Look Philippines officially launched and I became one of the Top 15 candidates. Looking back, it really feels like fate brought me to where I was meant to be.

What would it mean to win the contest? Being from the Philippines, I am aware of the limited representation of Filipinos in the global fashion industry. I would be honoured to be one of the people helping to change that. Winning would make my country proud and inspire other young Filipinos to pursue their dreams.

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

Tell us about a cause you care about: @theoceancleanup - they are a nonprofit organisation that creates technologies to remove plastic pollution from oceans and rivers, while also working to prevent plastic from reaching the sea!

A moment that changed how you see yourself: Probably when I started modelling… I never imagined that I’d be able to do what I’m doing now.

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

Name the top destination on your bucket list? Norway.

What do you want people to remember about you? I want to be remembered as a good person who is always willing to do their best!
