How does it feel to see yourself featured in this issue, and what does this moment mean to you personally? I feel so happy that all of my hard work and vision board have paid off on this goal, and I’m so grateful and excited to be part of the Playboy Australia family. Thank you so much.
How would you describe your lifestyle in three words right now? Blissful, enchanting, intense!
What does your ideal day off look like? Swimming, sauna, pilates, and relaxing with my family.
As we step into a new year, what’s your biggest resolution for yourself? Travel more as a family and do more outdoor sports like horseback riding, skiing, and swimming in the ocean.
What goals are at the top of your list for the year ahead, both personally and professionally? I’m super happy with my career at the moment, but personally, I want to study ancient texts more.
Is there a skill or hobby you’ve recently picked up or want to learn soon? Yes! I love flowers and studying the Japanese art of ikebana, so I’d love to get more involved with that and with fragrance too.
If you had a free weekend with no responsibilities, how would you spend it? Being somewhere tropical! Lying in the sun on a hot beach, drinking coconut water, wearing a lei. Playing tennis, working out, swimming, shopping, and having delicious food with friends and family.
What’s a fear you’re determined to overcome? Roller coasters! Hahaha, can you believe it, I have never been on one.
If you could travel anywhere in the world this year, where would you go and why? I just love amazing nature, food, and culture, so you can take me anywhere and I can promise you, I will be happy.
What’s a passion outside of modeling that you hope to pursue more deeply? I love dancing and was trained as a classical ballet dancer when I was a teenager, so it’s lovely to do more dancing, and music has always been very important to me.
What’s one major career milestone you’re aiming to achieve next? Balancing my career with my family is a juggle, so making sure I get that right is sooo key so that I stay super fulfilled like I am.
What new experiences or adventures are you hoping to try in the new year? Show me something new I haven’t seen, been, or tried before.
What advice would you give your younger self starting out in the industry? Just do what makes you happy and don’t listen to or ask for the opinions of others..The only opinion that matters is your own.
How do you hope people will remember you decades from now? All that matters to me is that people remember me as kind-hearted and a loving mum, with a positive presence that made them feel good and warm inside.
Thank you so much for your time. Where can our readers/ your fans keep up with you? Thank you! My IG is Mermaiide. I’m not on many socials often, but that would be the best place!
