Tell us a little about yourself and how you would describe your personal brand in three words?
I'm Atlanta, I'm from the UK, and I've been a fashion model for the last 10 years. I'd describe my personal brand as feminine, well-traveled, and fashion-focused.

What inspired you to begin your journey as a content creator, entrepreneur, or influencer?
My career as a content creator followed very naturally from my work as a model. I started posting my modeling work on Instagram and gained a following as brands began sharing my images as well. Over time, I realized how much I loved having creative control—something I don't always get to have on traditional shoots.

How would you describe your personal style, and where do you find fashion inspiration?
My personal style changes a lot, but I'd say it's mainly minimalistic Scandinavian mixed with feminine, chic pieces. I love adding hints of color and personality through my handbags and jewelry.

What are three wardrobe staples you can't live without?
A great pair of denim jeans, a classic little black dress, and an oversized chic jacket.

What does a typical day in your life look like when you're not traveling?
When I'm not traveling or working, I love spending time with my family and my niece. I also enjoy long walks in nature and taking Pilates classes.

What passions or interests do you have outside of social media and content creation?
My biggest passion has always been traveling. I love experiencing new places, immersing myself in different cultures, and seeing as much of the world as possible. I also absolutely love to cook, so I'm always trying out new recipes.

What has been the most rewarding moment of your career so far?
Simply getting to work with some of my favorite brands that I admired so much as a child has been the biggest reward. I've dreamed of working in the fashion industry since I was about six years old, so knowing I've made my younger self proud is incredibly fulfilling.

Who are some of the women that inspire you and why?
My mum is my biggest inspiration in life and also my best friend. She's always happy, supportive, and uplifting, no matter what she may be going through herself. Her resilience and ability to choose kindness every single day inspire me more than anything.

What is one piece of advice that has had a lasting impact on your life?
I always come back to the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy." Everyone is on their own timeline, and constantly comparing yourself to others only distracts you from finding your own happiness.

How do you stay motivated and creatively inspired?
Traveling and experiencing different cultures always inspires me creatively. I've also always been a very motivated person from a young age, and I think genuinely loving my career makes it easy to stay inspired. I'm incredibly grateful to do something I truly enjoy.

What are your favorite beauty products or self-care rituals at the moment?
I really believe in "eating your skincare," which sounds funny, but I truly think what you put into your body matters even more than what you put on your skin. Alongside that, I like to keep my skincare routine simple. One of my current favorites is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.

When planning a trip, what are the top three things you look for in a destination?
I love destinations with incredible natural beauty, amazing restaurants—because I'm a huge foodie—and hotels that have lots of character.

What does luxury travel mean to you?
Luxury travel means being able to travel with ease and feeling comfortable and at home wherever I'm staying. And, of course, amazing food is always a must.

If you could visit anywhere in the world next, where would it be and why?
I've always wanted to visit Tokyo, Japan. It's so different from anywhere else I've been, I love the fashion, and Japanese cuisine is my favorite.

What is something your followers would be surprised to learn about you?
I think they'd be surprised by how outgoing and loud I can be! My social media probably gives off a much more mysterious vibe.

What is your favorite way to unwind and recharge?
I love taking long walks by the ocean, but more than anything, spending time with my friends and family is what really refills my cup.

How do you balance your personal life with the demands of content creation and social media?
Honestly, I don't feel like I struggle with balancing the two because I try to incorporate my personal life into my work whenever I can. I've met some of my closest friends through my career, so there's a lot of understanding. When you genuinely love what you do, it doesn't feel as difficult to find that balance.

What are some goals or aspirations you're currently working toward?
I'd love to expand my modeling career even more in the U.S. market. Beyond that, I want to continue traveling and hopefully collaborate with a fashion brand on my own collection someday. I've always loved the design side of fashion.

What upcoming projects, collaborations, launches, or exciting news would you like to share with our readers?
Right now, my biggest focus is continuing to grow internationally, especially within the U.S. fashion market, while exploring exciting new travel opportunities and brand collaborations. I'm also hoping to bring one of my longtime dreams to life by collaborating on my own fashion collection in the future.

Looking back on your time at Castello Di Porciano, what was the highlight of your experience, and what made it so memorable?
Castello Di Porciano was one of the most incredible trips I've ever experienced, mainly because of the amazing people involved. I instantly connected with the other Modeliste girls, and it felt like we'd been friends forever. The owners of the castle made the entire stay so special—it's family-run, and you can truly feel the love and care they put into creating such a memorable experience. From late-night dinners filled with wine and dancing to wine tasting at the smallest winery in Tuscany and the iconic bike ride through the countryside, every moment was unforgettable. I loved every second of it.
