- Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.

As a child my mom wanted me to model but I did not. As I got older I changed my mind and felt like it was something I could excel in.

- What are your favorite forms of self care and why?

I love to read. It allows me to leave all my problems and worries and focus on something else. It really helps to calm a racing mind.

- What other passions do you have aside from modeling?

I love learning. I'm currently improving my French and recently started learning Arabic. I really want to find a new hobby. I've been thinking about scuba diving. I’ve always loved being in the water ever since I was a young child.
