I’ve always been a bit unconventional as a model, and my life reflects it. I wear necklaces all day and night—I never take them off—and my friends joke that I look like a Christmas tree. As a Pisces, astrology is my obsession, and the first thing I ask someone is, “What’s your zodiac sign?” Despite sleeping only 4–5 hours a night, my mind is always active, and I thrive on the unpredictability of modeling.
I’m self-taught in this industry, working without an agent, manager, or assistant, which is rare in a world dominated by model agencies. My background in business and recruitment has surprisingly helped me navigate the complex world of modeling. I have my quirks, like hating noises due to misophonia, but they make me who I am.
My modeling career kicked off in January with my first runway show for Dolce & Gabbana, and since then, I’ve walked in six more shows. Years of playing football and tennis gave me stamina, though my ball skills were questionable! Traveling roughly 300 days a year is part of the lifestyle I love—meeting people from around the world and embracing new experiences.
One of the highlights of working with models and model agencies globally was landing my first international magazine cover. Grazia Italy surprised me just two days before the release, choosing a photo we had shot earlier for the cover. Life as a model isn’t easy, but every moment—from the runway to the photo shoots—is worth it.
