I was pretty good at school and I thought ‘Okay, that makes sense’ but then life called me in a different direction! I wanted to be independent financially and I was working in a bar and a pharmacy but [modelling] seemed to pay better. I listened to my heart and I just took a step towards it, gave it a go, thought ‘Let me see what this can bring.’ Ultimately, I started working for financial independence and I built a career from that. From that career, I applied that to my lingerie brand and then I started to invest in my [skincare] WelleCo business. I didn’t love modelling, but I loved what modelling brought me.”

I call it intuition, it’s like a gut feeling that moves you towards something. You don’t know why, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s logical but you just get that feeling of interest and of passion, a rising kind of desire to explore. I think that’s the secret to life!”
