Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product: My favorite designer is Salvatore Ferragamo. The fragrance I like is Abel Odor, a Dutch Vegan parfum, and also Labo.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling? Tough question … I have no idea. Probably I would be working at some Nature Reserve as an Ecologist. I love being in the wild. That’s my refuge.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway? Swearing ahahahaha … there’s nothing like a good old “ [email protected](@@ “ when I’m mad about something!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country? Beach and calmness!

How long have you been Vegan? I started this lifestyle 5-6 years ago. I started slowly, baby steps because I was committed to never go back. I’ve succeeded! I can say that I live a cruelty-free life and that makes me happy.

What’s your workout regimen? 4x a week I do a street workout (bars and calisthenics). 30-45min is more than enough. Upper body and Lower body splits are the best for me.

Place you would love to visit: Kiribati (Country in Oceania)

Which brand would you really love to model for? Levi’s

Favorite modeling experience so far? Mitsubishi TV commercial because of what they asked me to do. My character was a Centaur (leading role) and I was using prosthetics. It was challenging and gave me the strong idea that acting is the next step. That was not the first TV commercial but was a game changer for me.

Currently, you’re obsessed with/about? Obsessed with helping others to take care of our planet, our ecosystem, our home. I’m doing the best I can to raise awareness! The way I see things, we all must look after each other.

3 Words that best describe you as a person? Loyal, Empathetic, a little bit nervous.

Any shoutouts? Wanna thank you for the opportunity you are giving me. Thanks to all the people I’ve met in this industry so far… Models, clients, agencies, Bookers, Make-up Artists, Directors … everyone. You helped me become what I am today.
