Where are you originally from, and where are you based?
I am originally from England and am based in London
When and how were you scouted? What has been your biggest achievement in the industry?
I applied to be a model with Elite Model Management online and they emailed me to set up a meeting where they offered me a contract which I was super excited about! My biggest achievement so far would have to be this shoot for 5'ELEVEN''.
What would you like to achieve in your career as a model?
My dream would be to walk at fashion week!
What do you like the most about the fashion industry? And what would you change?
I most like meeting so many different people. Everyone I have met so far has been so patient and understanding as I am gradually learning to be my best model self. I would change the idea that clothes have to be 'on-trend'. Personally, I would prefer to see people dress according to what they like and enjoy and for there to be less concern about how others may perceive it.
Describe yourself in 5 words.
Confident, ambitious, creative, adventurous and dependable.
Who do you admire?
My biggest inspiration would have to be Vivienne Westwood, as I feel she was so ahead of her time in terms of her designs and attitudes.
Who would you propose for this Q&A?
Alex Consani, as she is killing the modelling game right now!
Which are your favourite movies?
I am a huge horror film fanatic, me and my dad love watching horror movies from his childhood!
What are your favourite books and authors?
Sally Rooney has to be my favourite author; her book 'Normal People' changed my life.
What is your favourite part of travelling? Which are your dream places that you want to go and which are your favourites that you already visit?
My favourite part of travelling would be exploring different cultures; the next place I plan to travel to is South America. My current favourite place to travel would be Greece, which has the most amazing food!
If you could choose one brand for your next campaign, which would it be?
I would definitely say Burberry, as I am such a huge fan of their classically British look.
