Tell us about yourself and how you ventured into modelling? 

I’m multilingual and that’s one of my major strengths. Modelling came naturally to me. I started modelling when I was little but I stopped for a while. Then I took it up professionally after secondary school. 

What’s been your challenge so far? 

In every profession, there are challenges to be faced. I had this mentality going in. So, rather than dwell on the challenges, I looked for a way to overcome them. 

Tell us about your success story 

For my successes, I would say the exposure. The exposures I got opened doors for more opportunities. 

What inspires you, and where would you be in five years’ time? 

My biggest inspiration is knowing that I can do better and contribute to the society. In five years I see myself amongst the top 10 influential individuals in this country 

Who is your role model? 

I would say Tyra Banks. She has been able to transit from being a model to a major stakeholder in the modelling business. Her works have years of excellence and her career has been blessed.
