Modelling

I started modelling at 16 when a colleague asked me to model for her clothing label. It had always been on my mind but I was discouraged because of the industry that it was. I was bullied for a number of my physical traits and told I wouldn’t be able to model. Despite all of the comments I stuck it out and took up her offer. Safe to say I got a taste for modelling and never looked back.

I used the images to sign to an agent then freelanced for a while until I could create my own portfolio, bounced around to more agencies, had many rejections on the way but then found myself within magazines, working for well-known brands and meeting the most incredible people. 

I got a taste for the big stage  representing Victoria nationally for Miss Universe Australia in 2019 and 2022. I’ve walked Melbourne Fashion Week and Melbourne Fashion Festival, even co-hosting my own show for both events.

I’ve also had the privilege of working on the other side of it all as a Talent Manager, Coach and Stylist.

I’ve now been modelling for almost 10 years (which is crazy to say) and it has become another creative outlet where I get to meet so many like-minded people. I’ve learnt so much about myself along the way and feel blessed that I’m at a stage where I can help others do the same.
