Answers to Q&A
Why did you become a model?
I didn’t actually go looking for modelling, it found me! It wasn’t something I grew up thinking about, but I was fortunate enough to be scouted. The first time was on a Greyhound bus travelling from my hometown to visit a friend in Ottawa. I took the business card home to my parents, and they brought me to the MAC Convention where I met with Elite. That’s how my modeling journey began.
What makes you special?
What makes me special is the grounded, natural energy I bring to my work. I’m calm, collaborative, and easy to work with, and I can adapt to whatever tone a client needs. People tend to feel comfortable around me, and I think that sense of ease comes through in the images.
What are you passionate about?
I’m passionate about creating meaningful work and bringing authenticity into everything I do. Whether it’s modeling, my work life, or being with my family, I care about showing up with intention, kindness, and a strong work ethic. I love collaborating with creative people and being part of projects that feel clean, modern, and natural.
Who is someone you admire and why?
I admire people who lead with kindness, confidence, and integrity. Anyone who can stay humble, work hard, and make others feel comfortable inspires me. In the fashion world, I really respect models who embrace natural beauty and represent different ages and stages of life with confidence… it reminds me that there’s room for everyone.
When you are not modeling, what do you do on your day off?
On my days off, I like to keep things simple. I’m usually spending time with my kids, being outside, or catching up on everyday life. I love a quiet morning, good coffee, and anything that feels calm and restorative. I also enjoy staying active and taking care of myself so I can show up feeling balanced and refreshed.
