What inspired you to apply? I’ve known about Elite Model Look since I was a child because of its association with many famous models, some of whom are my favourites.

What are you most looking forward to learning at the Elite Model Look World Final? Honestly, rather than focusing on one thing, I want to enjoy the whole experience. I can't wait to learn from everyone and I’m excited to experience the energy of the finals.

What would it mean to win the contest? It would mean a lot. It would make both my loved ones and myself proud and I would be getting closer to fulfilling ‘little me’s’ dream. It would also open up a whole new path in my life.

What was the last app you opened today? TikTok.

What are your hobbies and interests? I love music, hanging out with friends literally anywhere, watching romcoms and horror movies, hiking whenever I get the chance and late night walks.

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

Best piece of advice you have ever been given: The best advice I have ever received is that I only live once so I need to enjoy every single moment.

Describe your personal style in one sentence: I’m a fashion chameleon - I love wearing different things depending on where I'm going, my mood and what makes me feel comfortable on that day.

What is a trend you secretly love that you probably should not? I love reality TV dramas and also learning and recording TikTok dance trends (even though I never post them).

What film or TV show can you quote line for line? The Notebook. 

What is the last book you finished? The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

What is a skill you are proud of? I’m proud of my dancing skills, especially my skills doing my country’s cultural dance.

Tell us about a cause you care about: Helping people who are struggling is very important for me. When I see people going through hard times, it breaks my heart and I always do what I can to help them.

A travel memory that has stayed with you: My family and I getting lost in the Paris subway is the travel memory I will never forget and always laugh about.

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

What is your coffee shop order? Not a coffee, but probably something sweet like a dessert.

What do you want people to remember about you? I want people to remember me for exactly who I am. I hate faking my emotions and thoughts so I try to be my true self in everything I do.
