1. What or who inspired you to model?
A family friend of mine modelled for years. She travelled the world, learnt about new cultures and religions and met a lot of new people! I heard about some of her experiences and thought, I would love the opportunity to do that as well.

2. If you had the chance to meet your favourite supermodel, who would that be?
If I could meet any supermodel it would most definitely be Cara Delevigne. She seems so down to earth and kind. I love all of her work, she is a very talented model.

3. Do you remember your first gig, if so what was it?
My first “gig” was a testing photo shoot with Western Academy. It was my first time in a real studio with all of the big set-ups. I loved it! They had asked me how long I have been modelling for, when I told them it was my first shoot they were shocked! (Apparently I did good ha ha)

4. As a model do you prefer editorial work or runway?
I love both Runway and Editorial. Editorial you get to create endless, beautiful images. Although with Runway it is such a thrilling experience every time walking out into the excited audience.

5. If you could pick one designer to model for, who would it be and why?(runway or editorial)
I would love to model for Jeremy Laing Runway. He is a fellow Canadian and very talented! I love his style. It is casual yet sexy. It is also organic designs, his clothing looks so comfortable and beautiful.

6. What is your favourite part of Vancouver Fashion Week? If you haven’t taken part before, what are you looking forward to most?
Vancouver Fashion Week is such an honour to be part of! I love meeting all of the talented designers from around the world and meeting models from all over Vancouver and abroad. Most of all, I love to be able to show case gorgeous pieces to people around the world.
