1. **How did you get into modeling?**
I was scouted quite unexpectedly. While walking through the city, a scout approached me and saw potential in me. After a few test shoots and meetings with different agencies, I decided to take the plunge into the modeling world. It was a new and challenging experience, but I’m glad I took the chance.
2. **What are you doing if you are not modeling?**
When I’m not modeling, I’m attending school and spending time with my family, especially my grandparents. I have a strong interest in psychology and often spend time reading books and articles on the subject. Additionally, I participate in experiential days where I share my knowledge and experiences to help and inspire others.
3. **The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?**
One of the most spontaneous and challenging things I’ve done is approaching a well-known Dutch personality with the idea of making a film together. It was a bold move, and although I didn’t know how it would turn out, I learned that you have to dare to chase your dreams. It was a valuable experience that boosted my confidence significantly.
4. **What’s your life motto?**
„If no one believes in you, believe in yourself and make it happen.“ This motto reminds me always to believe in myself, even when others don’t. It’s about following your own path and pursuing your goals, regardless of the obstacles you face.
5. **Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance/or?**
My personal style is a mix of baggy and skate. I love comfortable, casual clothing, but I can also rock more streamlined and edgy outfits. The modeling world is perfect for me because it allows me to experiment with various styles and looks. My favorite brands are Review, Levi’s, and Nike. In terms of fragrance, I prefer fresh, light scents that aren’t too overpowering.
6. **What genre of music best describes you?**
Musically, I enjoy a mix of old and new songs. I love listening to T-Pain for the nostalgic value, but I’m also a fan of modern artists like Shawn Mendes. Their music reflects my personal journey and the blend of old and new influences in my life.
7. **Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?**
My father is Dutch, and my mother is Indonesian, giving me a rich cultural background. I was born in Zoetermeer but now live in Leidschendam. What I appreciate most about Leidschendam is the tranquility and the beautiful surroundings. There are many lovely places to explore, a charming church, and plenty of space to find your own peace and calm.
8. **Do you have one celebrity you would like to get busy with?**
If I had the chance, I would love to make a film with Jandino. He is not only a talented actor and comedian but also incredibly inspiring with his work ethic and creativity. It would be an amazing experience to collaborate with someone of his caliber.
9. **Do you have any special talents?**
I have a few special talents that I enjoy practicing in my free time. I’m good at chess, which improves my strategic thinking and patience. Longboarding is another passion of mine; it gives me a sense of freedom and adventure. Additionally, I love dancing, which is a great way for me to express myself and stay fit.
10. **What do you think is the most interesting engaging thing online at the moment?**
At the moment, I find the developments in psychology incredibly fascinating. There are many breakthroughs in this field that are enhancing our understanding of the human mind and behavior. I’m particularly interested in how these new insights can be applied to help people improve their mental health. I would love to contribute to these developments and share the knowledge with others
