How did your modeling career start?
I wasn’t looking for a modeling job when I was a kid; I was training to become a competitive swimmer. I was scouted on the street but never considered modeling at that time. After graduating from college, I was scouted by an agent through social media. I decided to give it a try, and that’s how it all started. After a successful first year and major jobs that I booked, I received invitations from other agencies around the world. More than a decade later, here I am, working with major brands, doing runway shows, and shooting beauty campaigns!
You worked with so many brands and designers, any recent job that you’ve enjoyed the most?
I am a huge jewelry lover! Recently, I worked with Chopard and showcased their high jewelry pieces. It’s an incredible feeling wearing a 12-million-dollar set of jewelry, including the unique 35-carat Paraiba tourmaline necklace.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I don’t think it’s so hidden anymore; I am a classically trained Pilates instructor. I completed my 600-hour Comprehensive Certification Program at Core Pilates NYC in 2021.
How do you keep in shape?
Pilates! I believe that movement is so healing, both for our body and mind. Before a long day on set or after a shoot, I will always find at least some time to move my body.
What is the secret of your success as a model?
I am very hardworking. I love meeting new people and working with others, and I try to treat everyone kindly. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some great names, and I’ve learned a lot from the best.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to continue my modelling career. I have great support from my agency, and I am excited about all the future opportunities we’ll have together.
I also recently shot a major campaign for a brand that will be released very soon.
Any advice for those who want to become a model?
Be ready to work hard! Put your energy and effort in, and there will be results. Be good to others, create connections, make friends, and just enjoy the journey.
