Alternate career path: 

I see myself becoming a journalist because I love writing. I’ve always wanted to open a little bakery, which is still a dream of mine while pursuing modeling. 

What are you studying - now or in the future? 

I studied ICT because of the many career options it offers. However, I realized that I didn't like the field, so I didn’t pursue a job in it. Now, I am doing a flexible home study program that is focused on content creation which I love. 

Describe yourself in 3 words:

Enthusiastic, light-hearted, energetic.

Biggest hobby:

I love to bake, do yoga, write, and knit—honestly, anything creative.

What is your favorite dish? 

My favorite traditional dish is zuurkool, and my favorite international dish is probably something Indian like a nice curry with some naan!

Most surprising hobby:

I have four sourdough starters which I use a lot to bake different things.

What is your favorite TV series?

My favorite Netflix series is currently Baby Reindeer. I binged it in two days. 

What’s your message to people following the contest in your home country?

If you ever think about participating or wanting to become a model or anything else, always listen to yourself, never doubt yourself, and take that step, because you never know what it can bring you <3

What do you hope to learn from Elite Model Look?

I hope to learn the basics of modeling. I want to see how runway walking feels in front of a big audience and learn how to be comfortable in front of so many people.
