The Interview

What inspired you to start modeling?

I was inspired by all the supermodels back in the 90’s. Ever since I was a teenager my dream was to become a fashion model!

How did you get your start?

I started when I was 14 years old. I still remember when I went to São Paulo with my mom because I was selected to be a finalist in the Elite Model Look. Everything happened so fast!

What has been your favorite modeling job and why?

I had many good jobs and it’s hard for me to pick one. They all have my heart and soul! I am grateful and I try to make the best of all the opportunities that I am given. This industry is a very competitive one and it also changed a lot because of social media, unfortunately. So for me having my clients and keeping myself busy it’s the most important thing now. And if something big comes, then it’s a plus!
