– Tell us who you are beyond the runway
Beyond the runway, I balance my work as a freelance model with my studies, working toward my goal of becoming a nurse and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

 What truly makes me happy in my everyday life is connecting with people who inspire me and bring positive energy into my world.

 I knew a couple of years ago that fashion was my calling. Last year, I decided to fully commit and turn that realization into action.

I don’t draw inspiration from any particular fashion icon or international model. I believe true success comes from embracing who you are, while continuously evolving and striving to become the best version of yourself.
– What is your relationship with beauty: do you believe it is more internal or external?
I believe beauty is a combination of both internal and external qualities. However, I feel that inner qualities enhance and elevate outer beauty, giving it depth and meaning. While external appearance may catch the eye, it is the inner qualities that truly enhance and define a person’s beauty.

I would start a European dialogue on female empowerment and transformative leadership ensuring that women across Europe have equal opportunities, representation, and the power to drive sustainable change in our societies.

– If you had to describe Sweden in three words, which would you choose?
 Innovative, sustainable, breathtaking beautiful nature (scenic).
– Do you have dreams you are still nurturing? Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I have several dreams that I am still nurturing. One of them is to build a successful career as a model in the fashion industry. At the same time, I aspire to become a nurse, as I am passionate about helping and caring for others. In ten years, I see myself in a leading position where I can coach and inspire other women to believe in themselves, pursue their goals, and reach their full potential.
