Such an absolute honour to have you on Playboy: Can you give us a bit of a background
on your career as a model and where it all started? So honored to be here. It all began at 18, working at a bar that hosted wild sports nights. I landed a promo girl gig, and from there, doors started opening one irresistible opportunity after another. Meeting incredible people, making sparks fly it’s been a thrilling, unforgettable ride. And honestly? I’m just getting started.
What’s a project or goal you’re currently working on that you’re really excited about? I’m helping young women get more comfortable with money and finances. It’s something I wish I had learned sooner, so I’m glad to share what I know to help others feel more confident.
What is at the top of your list to achieve the most in 2025? In 2025, I’m really focused on creating a cozy, relaxing home that feels like a true sanctuary. I’ve been loving these projects like decorating, gardening, and honing in on my baking skills; it’s all about making a space that’s warm, inviting, and full of love.
What does it mean for you to be seen as a strong, intelligent, ambitious woman? To me, being seen as strong, intelligent, and ambitious means quietly doing my best and staying true to myself. It’s about growing with kindness and humility, supporting others, and believing that gentle strength and hard work can make a difference.
What would you say makes you stand out in the industry? I don’t see myself as standing out in any grand way. I’m still learning every day. But I try to bring authenticity and dedication to everything I do. I think being genuine and willing to work hard is what helps me connect with others and grow in this industry.
What are some of your biggest passions? One of my biggest passions is helping people clear out the clutter (both around them and within.) I love organizing spaces for my loved ones, but even more, I love creating room for clarity, comfort, and connection. It’s my way of making a small difference in their lives.
If you weren’t in the entertainment world, what career would you love to explore? If I weren’t doing this, I think I’d be a lawyer. I’ve got a soft spot for standing up for what’s right… and maybe just a little love for a good debate.
3 ultimate deal breakers when it comes to men? Poor hygiene? No thanks. Mean vibes? Bye. And if he can’t handle the soft *and* the strong in me he’s not the one.
We are taking you out on your ultimate date, and we really want to knock this one out of the ballpark. What would that entail? Prep work is everything. I adore when a date is thoughtful and well-planned. Sending me to the spa and shopping beforehand not only gets me ready but makes the anticipation part of the fun. It’s the perfect way to start the night with excitement and luxury.
What are some of the things that attract you to a man? Passion, ambition, kindness, and moving with honor.
You have one last chance to do something you have always wanted to do, with no limits
on anything. What are you doing? I’d love to get dressed by Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn because if I’m gonna break the rules, I might as well do it looking flawless with some serious old-school glam.
That said, what advice would you give to all the women out there when it comes to love
and relationships? Give yourself the most genuine love and grace, and the rest will follow.
