What are you really good at? Fashion coordinating. Not just for myself, but Also for my friends and family. What were you doing before modelling and do you miss it? I was still in elementary school when I started modeling… I don’t have much to miss before the career, but I sure did missed out on the “usual high school kids activities”. Something like hanging out with my friends after school. Describe a favorite childhood memory: During the winter season, my nearby pool turned into rollerblade rink. My dad first took me there, and I instantly started to like it. Since then I got myself a pair of rollerblades, and rode around everywhere I go. What do you see yourself doing after your modelling career? I always wanted to open my own boutique store. I’m also interested in designing clothes, so either way will be opening an apparel store. What’s one subject you could talk about for at least 5 minutes? Studio Ghibli films. My dad is a huge fan of the production, which made me too.
