How did you get into modeling?

Funny story. I was with my best friend and we were about my idea of modelling. I signed up by an agency as a joke, because I was convinced I would never get in. But I got accepted and the ball began to roll. I got in agencies and started to take jobs. Now I really like the work.

What are you doing if you are not modeling?

I study Social Work to become a coach for young adults. Besides that I’am with my friends most of the time. We go shopping, grab a drink, go to the movies or go out. If I’am not doing any of the thing above then I’am relaxing at home and watching series.

The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?

Signing up to an agency and getting accepted. I never expected that something like this would happen or that I’am good enough for it, but it did. It made me see that you can do anything you want to do. Just try it! Many people have so many talents and qualities and everyone has the right to try how far they can go with it.

What’s your life motto?

Good enough is the new perfect.

Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!

My style is as I describe it: Basic bitch with a twist. I love to bring some extra spice to my clothes. I love The Sting, a store in our country. They have the brand Daily Aesthetikz and I love the quality of this brand. It has simple colors that I can spice up with my own style. I love the Rituals. They have fragrances that are not too expensive but has a sweet scent to it. I don’t that people can smell me across the street, but when they are near me.

 

What genre of music best describes you?

Pop and Rap. I love Selena Gomez and her music. In rap I listen mostly to female rappers and some dutch rap. I also like dramatic music in television series and movies.

Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?

I was born in Arnhem, but live somewhere else now. I’am in Arnhem most of the time so I consider that more of my city. You can grab drinks at the nicest places, go to a arcade and go to the cinema. But I love the culture in Arnhem. There are multiple neighbourhoods in Arnhem and almost all have different cultures and different people. Those aspects have come more to light in the last years and I love it. It gives more dimension to the city.

Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with!

Timothée Chamalet for 100 percent. He is so handsome and completely my type. I wouldn’t mind going out with him one time.

Do you have any special Talents?

I’am a good listener, at least most of my friends say that. I’am very curious of other people their stories, because everyone has something special to share. Maybe I can even learn from them. But in my work I want to help people with their problems, so I’am happy I can listen, otherwise I couldn’t do my line of work.

What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?

I seriously don’t know. But I’am very interested in television series and movies so I always want to be the first who knows everything about it when new series or movies are released. I get invested in the story and the cast, so I will look everything up and I love it.
