I was born in Wales, though!</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Birthsign:</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Pisces</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">No, not at first. I hadn’t really thought about it until I got asked to. Initially, I wasn’t keen on the idea, so I took some time to think about it. Then about a year or so later, I got scouted on Instagram; the rest is history.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Most memorable modeling experience so far?&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">There have been so many amazing experiences, so I can’t pick just one. I’m really thankful for all the places I’ve been to and the people I’ve met. Seeing myself on billboards is definitely up there as well.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">One song you have on repeat, and why?</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">I try not to have songs on repeat too often, but Petite Fille D’amour has been in rotation recently – it has a beautiful energy to the sound.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">What other passions do you have aside from modeling?</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Filming skate videos, running my brand Fountain (@foun_tain_), and doing graphic design. I’m pretty into photography and music too.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">I really want to skydive! Heights are a big fear of mine, so I feel like jumping out of a plane might solve it.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">I’m not sure; probably that I don’t have a really strong Welsh accent, haha.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">What change would you like to see in the world?</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">The short answer is equality.</span></div>
