When did you first want to become a model? My aunt always said that I should model and I thought about it, but it never became anything more than just a thought. Then I was scouted and I thought to myself “now is the time” and decided to pursue it.

What are you most looking forward to learning at the Elite Model Look World Final? All the new people! Of course I also look forward to the modelling experience, but I’m really excited to make new friends.

What would it mean to win the contest? It would mean a lot to me. A global contract is a big deal, so I would be very happy to win.

Three words you would use to describe yourself: Persistence, Optimistic and Easy-going. 

Are you a morning person or night owl? Honestly somewhere in between.

What Instagram accounts are you obsessed with? Fabrizio Romano

Best piece of advice you have ever been given: "Du skal ikke være bange, for der er ikke noget at være bange for" which means "you shouldn’t be afraid, cause there is nothing to be afraid of". It was my dad that said it to me when I was little and scared of sleeping in the dark.

What is one item in your wardrobe you would save from a fire? One item I would save from a fire would probably be a Boca Juniors Maradona shirt I got when I was travelling in Argentina.

What is a trend you secretly love that you probably should not? I have two! One is jorts. People either love or hate them, but I really like them. Also trucker caps, I wear trucker caps a lot.

Top 3 artists in your rotation right now: A Danish band called APHACA, Zach Bryan and Olivia Dean.

What film or TV show can you quote line for line? Prison Break! That series is literally art. 

What is a skill you are proud of? My chess skills.

What would be your dream career if modelling did not exist? I would’ve loved to become a surf instructor in Australia, snowboard instructor in France, or even a zookeeper.

A travel memory that has stayed with you: I travelled to South America 3 years ago and one of my favourite memories from that trip was on Galápagos Islands. My dad and I went snorkeling at a place called Kicker Rock and we saw all kinds of animals, such as a hammerhead shark, turtles, manta rays and Galapagos sharks.

Name the top destination on your bucket list? Rio.

Anything else we should know? I’m really happy about this opportunity and excited to get started.
