Were you scouted? No, I actually went to an Elite Model Look casting on my own. I wanted to try the experience and challenge myself. It was an exciting opportunity to discover more about the modelling industry and see how castings work from the inside.

When did you first want to become a model? For as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of walking on runways. I remember going into my aunt’s wardrobe, borrowing her clothes and high heels and putting on little fashion shows. I would also play with her makeup and imagine myself as a model getting ready for a runway. Looking back, I think modelling has always been a part of me.

Who are your model or fashion heroes? One of my biggest fashion heroes is Naomi Campbell. I admire her not only for her incredible career and presence on the runway, but also for the way she has broken barriers and opened doors for so many Black models around the world.

What was the last app you opened today? TikTok.

What are your hobbies and interests? My main interest is fashion. I love discovering new trends, creating outfits and expressing my personality through clothing. Since I am studying fashion, it is both a passion and a future career for me. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family, watching fashion and beauty content and learning new things that help me grow. I like challenges, meeting new people and stepping out of my comfort zone to gain new experiences.

What is a small thing that makes you happy? A small thing that makes me really happy is going shopping! I love discovering new pieces, trying on different outfits and putting looks together. It’s not just about buying things, but also about the experience, finding inspiration and expressing my style.

Best piece of advice you have ever been given: The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is that “the miracle happens in movement.” It means that if I have a dream, it’s up to me to take action and do everything I can to make it happen. I truly believe I am capable of anything, because if a dream has been in my heart for so long and feels so strong, then it’s a sign that I am meant to achieve it. It reminds me to trust myself, stay focused and keep moving forward no matter what.

Who is your style icon? I don’t really have one specific style icon. I get inspired by everyone and everything around me. I like observing different people’s styles and taking little ideas from all of them to create my own way of dressing.

What is a trend you secretly love that you probably should not? A trend I secretly love that I probably shouldn’t is the “ultra low-rise Y2K” style. It’s a bit controversial and not always the most practical, but I like how bold and nostalgic it is.

What is a song that always lifts your mood? Témoignage by Jonathan Gambela.

What film or TV show can you quote line for line? FBI (Fausse blonde infiltrée) – the American movie White Chicks.

Are you in school? Yes, I’m currently in my third year of a Bachelor in Fashion Business at MOD’SPE. I’m in higher education, focusing on both the creative and business sides of the fashion industry.

What is a skill you are proud of? A skill I’m proud of is my ability to learn quickly and adapt in a professional environment. I’m able to understand new tasks fast and adjust to different expectations, especially in team or work situations.

A moment that changed how you see yourself: A moment that changed how I see myself was when I qualified for the final. It made me realise that my efforts and determination can truly lead to real opportunities and it gave me a lot more confidence in myself.

Vacation - beach, mountains or city break? Beach.

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

Name the top destination on your bucket list? Ibiza.
