  1. How were you discovered? Tell us your story.

     

When I was 17 I was at a music festival in London called Wireless with my girlfriend at the time and some mates. We were in the queue to enter the festival site and a woman with a clipboard approached me. I signed with Named Models. But I never went to any castings as I was doing my A Levels in Brighton where I grew up and couldn't make the time. 3 years passed and I was at University in Bristol when decided to give modelling a chance. I thought im signed to an agency in London, I may aswell give it a shot. As I got more into it I realised the all the opportunities it could provide for me. I've only really been modelling for a year. I started with a few runway shows at London Fashion week (September 25 and Feb 26), then I was signed by Independent Milan and I was so excited to start my placement here in Milan.

 

2. How would your friends describe you?

 

I would like to think that my mates would describe me as funny, kind and perceptive and a wicked DJ. but who knows, haha!

3. Before becoming a model, what did you imagine this world would be like, and how has it turned out in reality?

 

To be completely honest, I thought most people I would meet in this industry would be quite shallow and self-centred. When in reality, everyone i've met and worked with so far has been very friendly and supportive. I think everyone understands that you have to start somewhere and that careers are built on relationships, networking and consistency. So connecting with others and being an honest good person is an extremely valuable trait to have in any industry.

 

4. Do you use AI? What’s the last thing you asked it?

 

I do sometimes use Chat GPT. The last thing I asked it was a very boring technical question about how to cancel a subscription I had. That's what I think it's great for, interpreting and summarising long or boring things that you don't have the time for.

 

5. Do you have a favourite motto or quote you live by?

 

"Tutto passa" (everything passes). I feel like this one is quite relevant seeing as i'm in Italy.
