Background: As Canadian as they come! My dad is French-Canadian and my mother’s background is Irish and Swiss
Modeling Since Age: Did work as a child for an Ottawa children clothing store. I did my first fashion show at age 18, and freelanced until I signed with Angie’s!
How discovered: I was modeling for Suite Fashions in 2009, I was the only “freelance” model in the shows, Helena approached me about meeting with Angie. A few weeks later I was proud to have Angie’s Models and Talent as my agency.
Awkward Modeling Moment: I was doing a lingerie show, which was nerve racking enough, then once I was onstage two of my male customers from the bar were front row center. It took a lot of courage to go back on stage once I knew who was in the audience.
Most Bizarre Modelling Experience: I was casted for a Moncler “show” for NYFW, turns out the show was a “Fashion Flash Mob” in Grand Central Station! I understood that I was to model – not learn a 7 minute choreographed routine! It was the coolest thing I’ve been a part of!
Favourite things: My Family and Friends are my world and I’m very lucky to have the best. Being around positive people and laughing until I feel sick! Sunshine, Water, Sand, Cottage, Patio, Shopping, Learning new ways to eat healthy, trying new workouts, Fashion Blogs – Tommy Ton’s JakandJil(photo bloger) and The Man Repeller, Anna Della Russo and Bias Cut. I spend hours grooming their pages! Anything that is good for your body! Doing my nails – no look is complete without a fresh mani/pedi!
Favourite music, band: I love all genres of music form Motown, Rock, Hip Hop and even a little Country every now and again! I have a very wide range of artist that I listen to, and am always open to new music.
Favourite designers/models: Model would have to be Coco Rocha and Daria Webrowy– always rep fellow Canadians! Designers are endless – right now I’m into Rag & Bone.
Favourite foods: Anything Fresh! Chicken, Salad, Quinoa, Seafood, Almonds, Fruit, Veggies...and I can’t forget my sweet tooth!
Hobbies: Traveling, working out with my personal trainer, yoga, learning new ways to eat super foods, cooking,
Style after work and at play: My work is play – I bartend and manage a bar on Elgin full time. Most of what I wear is black – perfect to transition from day to night, slimming and chic! My style changes with the seasons. It’s important to wear whatever you will feel your best in!
Movie you want to see next: I really love biographies – I’ll watch anyone’s story!
Most Embarrassing song on your iPod: “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”
Dreams and Goals: My current goal is to complete a 21 day cleanse.
I would love to walk in Fashion Weeks all over the world.
I truly believe that everyone should have one goal to help others around them; a little bit goes a long way.
