Where did you first hear about Elite Model Look? A few weeks ago, I told my mum I wanted to become a successful professional model. On 9 June 2026, she told me that she had just submitted my application online to Elite Model Look. That same day, we received an email from the Global Director of Elite Model Look Jennifer May Cope and a call from an agency connected with Elite from Zürich, saying that they liked my profile and wanted me to be in the finals in Rome.

What are you most looking forward to learning at the Elite Model Look World Final? To become truly confident in myself and express it in the best way, using my body, my eyes and my energy.

What would it mean to win the contest? Winning the contest would mean a lot to me. It would be a real chance to learn, work hard, grow and represent Elite Model Look with respect. For me, being a model is not only about looking good in a picture. It’s also about personality, discipline, presence, resilience, kindness and sharing a special energy with people. Switzerland and Brazil are both part of who I am and I think this mix helps me see the world in a different way. I would like to bring that into my career and show that fashion can connect cultures with purpose.

What was the last app you opened today? Clash Royale.

What are your hobbies and interests? My hobbies are swimming, surfing, reading, watching films/series and playing video games. My interests include mathematics, physics, robotics, animals and spending time in nature.

Do you believe in star signs? I didn't fully believe in star signs before, but I researched them and found some things that actually sound like me. I like the idea of being independent, creative, open-minded and a little different.

What is a small thing that makes you happy? Small things that make me happy are eating good food, doing exercise, walking in the forest and spending time in silence. I like simple moments where I can feel calm, healthy and connected to myself.

Describe your personal style in one sentence: My personal style is simple, masculine and elegant, with a calm confidence and a natural connection to movement.

Name a designer you would wear head to toe! Giorgio Armani. I like how his style feels masculine, calm and powerful. I also like Louis Vuitton - his designs are elegant, modern, creative and relevant to my generation.

What film or TV show can you quote line for line? Attack on Titan.

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

Are you in school? Yes, I am in my first year of Gymnasium, studying advanced mathematics and physics.

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

The most spontaneous thing you have ever done: The most spontaneous thing I have ever done was swimming across the lake near Stein am Rhein and Eschenz, from Switzerland to Germany. I was scared of the deep water, but I still found the courage to do it. I trusted my body, kept moving forward and at one point I realised I was literally crossing from one country to another. I think that moment taught me that courage is not about having no fear, but about continuing even when you feel afraid.

What is your coffee shop order? Matcha with plant based milk, or a hot chocolate.

What do you want people to remember about you? My kindness and generosity and my message that peace is something worth fighting for.

Anything else we should know? I might be shy and calm at first, but when I feel comfortable, I become more energetic, open and loud in a fun way.
