Who was the first person to suggest that modelling could be a possibility for you?
My grandmother has always been my biggest supporter, telling me I could be a model. But it was my model scout who really showed me I had potential in this industry and made me see opportunities I hadn’t thought of.

Do you have any specific dreams you want to achieve? In the world of fashion, are there any brands or designers you’d like to collaborate with?
I’d love to work with brands like Diesel or Saint Laurent. Their edgy and cool style really speaks to me.

The working day on a set can probably be very intense. What do you enjoy doing when the lights finally go off after a long day?
I enjoy catching up with friends and family over dinner. Simple, yet the most relaxing way to unwind.

What part of your job is the most enjoyable or fun?
I really like meeting new people from different backgrounds and discovering new locations. Also, it’s amazing to see the creative process of every project from start to finished product.

If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing about the fashion industry, what would it be and why?
I think the fashion industry could do more to reduce its environmental impact. I’d love to see more brands adopt sustainable processes and eco-friendly materials.

Working as a model implies a constant confrontation with one’s appearance. In relation to thamodelling, I realisedhat boosts your confidence?
Being around friends and family always makes me feel loved and confident. But of course, nothing beats seeing myself in a fashion magazine. My confidence has grown by seeing my development as a model, since I first started.

Growing up, what was your childhood dream? Has it changed over the years?
I wanted to be an actress when I was little. I loved getting into character and dressing up. When I discovered modelling, I realised it gave the same opportunity to express myself in a creative way.

What’s one beauty hack you’ve learnt on set that you can’t live without now?
I always try to recreate the facial massage you get every morning on set. It really wakes my face up and makes me look more alive early in the morning.

What three things do you always keep stocked in your fridge?
Apples – I go through at least three a day. Hot sauce, because it goes on everything, and dark chocolate for a sweet treat now and then.

Do you see yourself continuing your career in fashion in the future, or can you imagine working in a completely different field?
I’d really like to stay in the fashion industry in some way, but I’m also open to explore other creative fields, like writing or advertising. I enjoy storytelling in any form.
