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 being too thin, not having straight teeth, 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 got stuffed around by multiple agencies, ripped off, 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’ve had a taste of commercial, editorial, e-commerce, fitness, runway, swimsuit, print, promotional and parts modelling. I represented Victoria nationally for Miss Universe Australia in 2019 and 2022. I walked Melbourne Fashion Week and currently work as a Talent Manager and Stylist for a Modelling Agency.

I’ve been modelling for over 7 years now (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.

Posing Classes

Posing does not come naturally to us all. If you’re finding yourself a little stiff in front of the camera, running out of poses early on, maybe you’re feeling awkward, my posing class is for you. They are one off (1hr) classes and you can do as many as you need.

Walking Classes

Having done several catwalk/ runway shows, being coached by so many wonderful people I am now excited to pass on that training. Offering (1hr) 1 on 1 tailored walking classes, enhancing your own walk, breaking habits, perfecting turns and poses.

Comp Cards

A comp card is essentially your business card in the modelling world. If you don’t have one or need assistance creating one, let’s get started.
