How did you get into modeling? Who discovered you?
I got into modeling basically because of my mom. At first I wanted to be a doctor, and by the age of 13 my mom gave the idea of trying modeling. I did, and here I am. Wouldn't change anything, love what I do.
Do you have any old school models you admired and looked up to, when you were little?
Not really, I was a tomboy while in school, playing soccer, handball.. wasn't into "beauty" and modeling. So then when I started, I had Gisele as an inspiration, loved how confident she was and had focus.
