What is your passion?

Since I was little my house was always full of music, my parents would always have music playing, and because of that I love a huge variety of music. The first album I ever bought was The Heist by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, it means a lot to me and I love all of the songs on the album and still listen to it.

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?

To spend less time on the computer and explore and travel more!

Who is your favourite model?

I really like Julian Koning even though he didn't win last year, he proved himself and made us all proud, and following the competition he has walked in some amazing shows.

What is your favourite…

Sport: I play football a lot. I like being a goalkeeper as its really exciting, once the attackers break the defence its down to me, I like that the intensity of it.

Instagram: All kinds of meme pages, but I don't have one favourite in particular.

Vacation: When I went with my whole family to Turkey. I have so many great memories from that vacation, most of them involved being in the sea with my little nephew.

Book: I actually don’t have one, I’ve never finished a book, I prefer watching movies!

What does friendship mean to you?

Being able to depend on a person when you need them and having lots of great times and memories together.

How does it feel to represent the Netherlands at the 35th Elite Model Look World Final?

It's so exciting, I'm really curious to find out where it will take me. My mum persuaded me to apply, as she had seen an ad in the paper and once we talked about it I registered online and went to a casting. The experience so far has been so fun, and I'm so excited to make new friends and enjoy every moment. I still can't believe I am one of the Winners of Elite Model Look Netherlands, but the feeling is amazing!

Tell us about the Netherlands!

I think the Netherlands is famous for being an open-minded, beautiful and relaxed place to live with nice people. Internationally, we have lots of famous Dutch models and sportspeople as well as DJs. I’m definitely really proud of the Netherlands and am glad to call myself Dutch.
