Where are you from?
I grew up in Whales and England (Swansea, Durham, and Norwich, specifically) and also attended prep school in Connecticut (Choate Rosemary Hall)
Tell us about your education: Have you attended modeling or acting school? Any college degrees?
I never attended modeling school but I have a Bachelor's degree from NYU in psychology, web programming, and creative writing
I took a few acting courses in school as well but it wasn't my main focus at the time - in retrospect I'm grateful I took the classes as they've helped with both commercial and TV acting. I also wrote a play and performed in a playwriting festival while in prep school, but never ended up doing anything with theatre in New York
What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
I have 8 years of classical training in piano, 7 in violin, and taught myself basic guitar and ukulele. I studied music theory at a Johns Hopkins summer program and enjoy composing song arrangements in 3-part harmony
What brings you the most joy?
Honestly, my bengal cat Potato (@potatobengal) brings me the most joy. His simple existence reminds me to stay grounded and focus on the small pleasures in life whenever I feel overwhelmed. Plus, he has 14.5 pounds of personality that lights up any room!
Being a reliable model is of utmost importance. How would you describe your work ethic?
My work ethic is one of my strongest traits - if I'm determined to achieve something, I'll go above and beyond to put in the work required to succeed.
My parents instilled in me their values of hard work and perseverance so I'm always competing with the best version of myself. This is especially important in the fashion and entertainment industry because you won't get anywhere if you don't put in the work and truly push yourself
Long Term Goals?
I'm aiming to launch my own apparel brand and jewelry/accessories brand in the next couple of years, and hope to release more albums on Spotify
As for modeling and acting, I'd love to do more film work, or appear on a billboard or in a subway ad! My dream is to get published in VOGUE China someday!
