Who was the first person to see you as a potential model?
A friend who was a bit older than me who constantly teased me about my looks, but nobody straight up said I have potential. I actually got more of the opposite.
What do you like most about your job?
The freedom it gives me to pursue hobbies without being stuck to a 50-hour week.

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learnt from a challenging experience in your modelling career?
Always listen to your body, however silly it might be. Prioritise sleep, food, exercise and relationships, or you’ll go crazy and it will all be for nothing.
What’s your go-to outfit?
A tracksuit with designer shoes.
