What is most exciting to you about working as a model right now?
My first job was the fall 2020 Louis Vuitton show. I was still in high school, and I wasn’t sure what to do after, so I decided to give modeling a shot. I had no idea what to expect because I didn’t know anything about fashion. Now I think traveling is the most exciting part. My dream job would be to do a perfume campaign!
