Would you tell us the story of your very first casting?
I remember being more curious than nervous. I didn’t really know what to expect, I just showed up and observed everything – the way people moved, how they looked at you. I think what stayed with me the most was realising it’s not just about how you look, but the energy you bring into the room.
If you could take on a role other than being a model when you’re on set, what would it be?
Probably, behind the camera. I’m really drawn to the creative direction – how an image is built, the lighting, the mood. I like the idea of shaping the story instead of just being in it.

Do you have any creative hobbies?
Yes, I like anything visual. Photography, sometimes filming small clips, even moodboarding. I enjoy creating atmospheres more than finished pieces.
What does your ideal breakfast look like?
Something simple but good. Coffee is essential. Maybe eggs, fresh bread, and fruit. I’m not too complicated in the morning, just something that feels calm.

Are you the type who’s always running late or always perfectly on time?
I like to be on time, but in reality…I’m usually somewhere in between. Not late enough to be dramatic, but not perfectly early either.
Do you prefer listening to music or podcasts?
Music, always. It changes my mood instantly and helps me get into the right mindset, especially before a shoot.

What’s the one thing you can’t travel without?
My headphones. They kind of create my own space.
In your opinion, what’s the worst fashion trend ever invented?
Anything that feels forced or uncomfortable just for the sake of being trendy. When it stops being natural, it loses the point for me.
