“I’ve always been a fashion lover since I was a kid, I think I’ve absorbed that from my parents. My mum works with fashion, and I’ve always helped her choose the collections for her store so I feel I’ve always been kinda involved with this industry. Same as my dad, whose career was sports related but also had a fashion business and now that I look at his old pictures, with those vintage 70’s wide leg pants I can see his fashion taste and I feel like I want to wear everything...”






 

 

How did you started in your career, and what drew you to this industry?
I’ve always been a fashion lover since I was a kid, I think I’ve absorbed that from my parents. My mum works with fashion, and I’ve always helped her choose the collections for her store so I feel I’ve always been kinda involved with this industry. Same as my dad, whose career was sports related but also had a fashion business and now that I look at his old pictures, with those vintage 70’s wide leg pants I can see his fashion taste and I feel like I want to wear everything...
About modeling, I was scouted in 2013 on Facebook. A model agent reached me to join a modeling contest from my Portuguese agency at that time, which I won and then my life just changed.

 


What have been some of your most memorable career experiences?


I’ve had many different and random experiences with this job that I find really hard to name one. But random random - I remember I had so much fun shooting with a sheep once in Lisbon for a magazine. Also - Walking fashion shows has always been super exciting for me and I miss it as it’s something that I’ve never done that much.
