How would you describe yourself in a three words?

Whimsical, adventurous and excitable

How old were you when you got into modelling?

I was 20 when I first got into modelling. I always wished that I had started a little earlier than that, but now I think that it was the right time for me. I’m not too sure if my 15 or 16 year old self would have been mature enough to work in the industry.

How did you get into it?

I had heard that there was a casting for a local model agency going on down the street from where I was living at the time. I decided to skip the couple of Uni lectures I had that day and give it a go - It was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Did you always want to be a model?

Yes! Secretly! I always loved the idea of modelling and coveted hundreds of copies of Vogue and Elle growing up just so I could marvel at the gorgeous shoots. But I thought that the majority of the models in them didn’t look anything like me so I presumed that there was no hope!

What do you love about the industry?

There are so many things I love about the industry. I think the fascinating Creatives that I have been so lucky to meet is probably my favourite thing. I also love those times on set when every element of a shoot comes together so perfectly and the energy is just electric – that’s magic!

What is your dressing style in everyday life?

I have quite a minimalistic style. I wear a lot of black and neutral earthy colours that complement my complexion the most. At the moment I’m obsessed with the combination of a crisp Breton stripe and a bold red lip.

When you’re not on set how do you like to unwind?

I am a huge book worm, so curling up with my favourite book next to a fire is my idea of bliss! I also love to sail whenever I get the chance and when the Irish weather lets up.

Where are you happiest?

I’m probably happiest being in the front row at a Kooks concert
