What were you like as a child?
As a child I was very energetic, active and creative. I loved to talk and did everything that came to my mind. I haven’t changed.
Describe your idea of a perfect day:
First off after waking up I’ll take a cold refreshing shower to start the day, afterwards I’ll have light breakfast outside in my yard. I’ll get clothed and do my make-up while blasting some good music to give me motivation and energy. Then I’ll go out with friends to do something interesting. And ending the day by watching the sunset at the beach or having a movie marathon.
What stresses you out?
You could say that I stress myself out, because I overthink a lot. Also other people, who are rude and arrogant, stress me out… buuuuut I try to be as positive as I can.
What were you doing before modelling and do you miss it?
Before modelling, I was a dancer, when I was younger I was a swimmer and did athletics, I also like to draw and took drawing classes. But modelling doesn’t stop me from doing other things I also love.
What is a band/movie/artist/cool thing you recommend?
I recommend the movie “Gia”, it’s a movie about the first supermodel you could say. It’s my favourite movie and for me it was very eye opening and even inspirational. For a band I recommend Arctic Monkeys- you can never get tired of them.
