How did you get started in modelling?
My brother got me in to modelling, he encouraged me to go for it. I went for a photoshoot with him that went really well. Five of the shots went on Facebook and I got spotted by my Birmingham agency Alan Sharman.
And how long have you been modelling for now?
6 years now and I completely love it.
What’s one of the highlights of being a model?
To be honest it’s meeting people. Various different people from different environments and the excuse to travel.
What’s been your favourite modelling job?
It would be at the time when I was still in my old job working in a factory. The following day I got a job for Tom Ford introducing his women fashion. I went all the way to London and got to meet the likes of Tom Ford, Justin Timberlake, Anna Wintour and the next day I was back in the factory so that was quite a surreal moment for me, quite a contrast!
In your opinion what’s your best feature?
My best feature would actually be my eyes and also my colour complexion because it’s quite a distinctive look and can’t be easily categorised.
Favorite fragrance?
Noir by Tom Ford.
