When did you first want to become a model? The idea of becoming a model had never crossed my mind until I participated in the casting and was selected for the Elite Model Look competition and, later, the World Final. For me, Elite opened the door to a completely new world. Before that, my life was focused on studying, getting my diploma and preparing for university. Modelling was something I knew very little about.

Where did you first hear about Elite Model Look? Yes, I did. I saw an Instagram post saying that Elite was coming to Tunisia. Adriana Lima has always been my mum’s favorite model and I’ve been watching her with my mum since I was very young. When I told my mum that Elite was coming, she couldn’t believe it. Since Adriana was represented by Elite, the agency already had a special meaning for us. I told my mum, “why not give it a try?” I was simply curious and wanted to see what would happen if I applied.

How did you feel when you found out you were going to the World Final? Honestly, I couldn’t believe it. When they called my name, I was just standing there in shock. I didn’t even react at first because I thought I had heard wrong. I had dreamed about this moment and now it’s finally happening. For a long time, it was just a dream, but now it’s real and I’m so grateful to be living it.

What Instagram accounts are you most obsessed with? @jennierubyjane / @jihoon

What are your hobbies and interests? One of my favorite things is photography because I love capturing special moments and preserving memories through pictures. I also enjoy reading books. I love learning from the stories, experiences and life lessons they share. But, my biggest passion is learning languages and I’ve always been fascinated by different cultures and ways of communicating.

What's something most people would never guess about you? I’ve had moments where I wanted to give up, but I always find the strength to continue and keep going no matter what.

What is a small thing that makes you happy? Delicious food.

Describe your personal style in one sentence: I don’t stick to one style, I like exploring and wearing different styles depending on how I feel.

What is one item in your wardrobe you would save from a fire? A t-shirt from my favourite football club.

What is a song that always lifts your mood? Starlight by Jennie.

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

What is a skill you are proud of? A skill I’m proud of is my ability to adapt and do many different things. I learn quickly and enjoy trying new things.

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

A travel memory that has stayed with you: My last trip with my family to Turkey. My dad doesn’t speak English, so he tried to explain things using hand gestures. Even though everyone was trying their best, they still couldn’t fully understand him, which made the situation quite memorable and funny for us.

Name the top destination on your bucket list? Switzerland.

What do you want people to remember about you? I want people to remember me as someone who is authentic, determined and who inspires others to believe in themselves and take opportunities.

Anything else we should know? I’m very excited to meet everyone and learn more.
