Discovered  By Specs Model Management. I went to an open casting call and they told me they were interested to represent me. So that's how my career began!

Best Modelling Moment  I have more than one!

The shooting I did for Filles Clin D'Oeil magazine! It was so exciting to shoot on the street with people whistling at me! And I couldn't wait to see me for the forst time in the magazine! I called everyday at the Multimag store to know if they had received it!!!

The moment I signed the contract for Avenue 1 agency (Tokyo)!! I couldn't believe I was going to fly to the other end of the world to work there all summer!!!

I will never forget these moments!

Awkward Modelling Moment  This casting I had for a Japanese coffee ad. We had to act. I was matched with a 25 year old guy from England (so I couldn't understand anything he was saying because of his British accent) and we had to pretend to be a couple, lying on a bed, caressing each other sensually. I was on top of him and he almost tried to undress me! All that in front of my manager!! It was soooo awkward!! But it's a good thing I had this casting because after doing that, I am not shy of anything else!

Favourite Market  Well, I have only been in Tokyo and Montréal and I have to say I like both. They both are very different, they both have their positive and negative points.

Favourite Model   There are sooo many!! Coco Rocha, Jessica Stam, Gemma Ward, Gisele Bundchen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer... and this girl I met this summer in Tokyo, Olga Akhunova! She also is with Avenue 1. She is so kind and so pretty! I hope for her she will get more recognition!!

Most embarrassing song on your iPod?  I have a lot of songs from the Backstreet Boys!! As long as you love me... !!! Get down, get down, and move it all around.. !!! haha
