Answers to Q&A
What inspired you to become a model?
Scrolling through social media was what first sparked my interest in modeling. The more I explored and researched the industry, the more fascinated I became. I loved the idea of expressing myself in so many unique ways, stepping into different styles and personas, and using modeling as a way to discover what truly inspires me.
As my passion grew, I came across a scouting event in Toronto in June 2024. Gathering my confidence, I decided to take this dream seriously and attend. Although I was nervous, I pushed through, and it paid off. I was selected to move forward, had one-on-one meetings, and was ultimately chosen to become a part of WANT MANAGEMENT.
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
When it comes to modeling, I am most excited about the new shoots and opportunities that come my way. Every job is unique, and that’s what makes it so exciting, as it never becomes boring or repetitive. Each experience allows me to step into something different, whether it’s a new style, theme, or creative direction. I love that modeling pushes me to constantly explore, adapt, and grow. It’s a chance to discover new sides of myself while working with creative people who share the same passion. What inspires me the most is the fact that no two opportunities are ever the same, and with each one, I get to learn, improve, and challenge myself in new ways.
Can you share with us some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
My advice for anyone who wants to get into the modeling industry is simple. Just do it. Don’t spend too much time second-guessing or wondering if you should try because you’ll never know what opportunities are out there unless you take that first step. If modeling is something you truly dream of, go for it. It never hurts to try, and you may surprise yourself with where the journey leads.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way is the importance of patience. Staying patient and trusting the process is key, because every opportunity you do get makes the wait worthwhile
Share a fun fact about yourself!
I am a huge animal lover. I’ve always felt a strong responsibility to help and protect animals, no matter where they are in the world. As I get older, one of my biggest dreams is to become more involved in animal activism and use my voice to make a difference. I am especially passionate about raising awareness and helping to end issues such as animal testing, animals being used in entertainment, climate change, animal abuse, animal fighting, etc. Caring for animals has always been close to my heart and I hope to continue growing that passion into something that creates real change worldwide.
