Q:What do you love about the underwear modelling industry?A:I think I love the thrill and the challenge. With underwear shoots you have nothing else but to be brave lol. You just have to be creative, versatile and get the shot .

Q:With your experience what description or picture can you give about the industry in South Africa ?.A:Our Modelling industry is very robust and we have a great number of models who have worked overseas. Can we do it more? Of course we can and so that is my mission. I am determined to take my modelling career to International Platforms.

I am confident our country will allow people to accept who they are and celebrate all body types.

Q:What elements do you bring in every shoot to make the picture memorable ? A:A huge dose of personality. The shoots are some times really difficult especially if you going through a a bad day.

Sometimes you wake up and become an International Model and sometimes you have to go to many auditions. Whatever happens, keep consistent and keep pushing away negative comments. Our Industry is only alive because of you. Your dream to become a model needs to stay as this is what will change the World. Yes, we can change traditional beliefs, Yes we will have doubt and Yes we are changing the culture one day at a time stay different, stay brave!
