As a model, have you managed to turn some of your dreams into reality?
I’m definitely working on it. Every day I get a little closer to turning my dreams into reality. It’s ajourney, but I’m committed.
At what point did you realise that modelling could be a serious career rather than justa series of lucky breaks?
I understood it was becoming a serious career when the opportunities kept multiplying, and I realised how much discipline and effort the job truly requires. The moment I saw that people genuinely believed in my potential, it stopped feeling like luck and started feeling like a path I was meant to pursue.

What helps you project confidence when you’re in front of the camera during a shoot?
A little music, a good coffee, and I’m ready.
Has constantly seeing yourself in photos revealed something about you that you hadn’t noticed before?
Yes, it made me more aware of subtle details in my expressions and body language — things I had never noticed before.
If you could change one thing about the profession, what would it be?
I’d like to see more emphasis on mental health and support for models. It can be tough for us sometimes.

On a personal level, are there traits of your personality that you’ve learnt to value more thanks to modelling?
Modelling taught me to value my patience and sensitivity, which I used to see as weaknesses. I also learnt to appreciate my discipline. I didn’t know how committed I could be until modelling demanded it.
Looking ahead, what are your ambitions in the industry?
My ambition is to keep improving, stay consistent, and see where the journey leads. I’m aiming for major campaigns, working with bigger brands, and walking more runways.

And beyond modelling, what personal goals are you pursuing?
I want to continue my studies to expand my knowledge and skills, which I believe will complement my career in modelling.
You’ve graced the runways of iconic brands like Valentino and Comme des Garçons. What goes through your mind as you walk under the spotlight, with all eyes on you?
I felt so excited and grateful to have the opportunity to work with these amazing brands, especially my debut with Valentino. No words could express how happy I was.

What advice would you give to your younger self, during the year before your very first runway show?
To my younger self: ‘You’ve come a long way and you’re still going strong. You never gave up, and that’s exactly how it should be. Stay true to yourself, be kind, keep learning, and never let doubt overshadow your dreams.’
