How did you become a model?
I was scouted on my 14th birthday while I was shopping with two friends in Amsterdam after our test week. I first thought it was a set-up from my parents for my birthday.
Who are your heroes in life?
My mum. She has always been there for me and she is the most loving and caring person I know.
My heroes in modelling are Anna Ewers and Doutzen Kroes. To have a career like theirs is my goal, especially because they really worked for it and it took some time for them to get there.

What is your present state of mind?
I’m trying not to stress too much and just see how everything goes. If there is something I can do to improve my chances, then I’ll work hard for it, but if there’s something that I can’t control, then I try to let go and just go with it and enjoy the experiences.
What is your idea of happiness?
My idea of happiness is being with your loved ones, like your family and just enjoying the small things in life, like a beautiful calming sunset on the beach, or a good coffee in a cool cafe or just listening to my favourite music.

How would you like to be perceived by others?
As someone who is free, strong, motivated and does not depend on opinions of other people. I want people to see that I can rely on myself and that they see how strong I am.

If you were not a model, what would you be?
I would be in my first year of university, probably philosophy or international relations

What is your favourite song or songs to walk on the catwalk to?
I love a songs like Freedom by George Michael, but also more modern songs by artists such as Dua Lipa are also really good to walk on.
