From Discovery to Dreams: A Model’s Journey in the World of Modeling

My journey as a model began unexpectedly at the age of 15 while shopping with my mother in Lyon. Although I was noticed by scouts back then, I didn’t sign with a model agency at the time. It wasn’t until I turned 18, after graduating high school, that I officially entered the world of professional modeling. Meeting my agent marked the beginning of traveling internationally and working full-time as a model, experiences that shaped my growth in ways I never imagined.

As a young girl, my ambitions shifted constantly. From aspiring to become an architect or designer to imagining a future as a doctor or lawyer, I explored many possibilities. But ultimately, I found my true calling in modeling. Working with professional models and learning the ropes of the industry through different model agencies gave me clarity about my path, showing me that following my passion was far more rewarding than any other career I had once considered.

My first professional modeling assignment was an e-commerce shoot for Oysho in Barcelona, and it instantly cemented my love for the profession. What I cherish most about being a model is the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. Traveling to new cities, meeting diverse people daily, navigating unknown environments, and collaborating with experienced models has accelerated my learning and broadened my perspective. Two years of full-time modeling taught me resilience, independence, and self-awareness in ways no classroom ever could.

Inspiration comes from watching other successful models, like Valeria Lipovetsky, who balances modeling with a healthy lifestyle and a strong presence on social media. Such examples show how models today can shape their careers and lives with authenticity and creativity. My dream campaign would be cinematic in nature, similar to a fragrance ad, where modeling intersects with theater and storytelling, reflecting my love for performance beyond just posing.

Staying healthy and fit is essential in modeling. I am committed to regular workouts, attending classes ranging from yoga and pilates to HIIT and boxing, and following a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Learning more about nutrition while pursuing a part-time course has made wellness a natural part of my life, helping me feel confident and energized for the demands of modeling.

When not modeling, I enjoy mornings at the gym, relaxing with friends at a café, reading, studying, cooking, and staying connected with family. Being a model is not just about photoshoots—it’s about discipline, curiosity, and embracing experiences that shape both career and character. Working with reputable model agencies has opened doors to a world full of opportunities, and each step reinforces my belief that modeling is more than a job—it’s a journey of discovery.
