"You
don't
have to be rich to have style and look classy."
– MY MOTHER
UNTAMED INTERVIEW
Finding My Runway
How I Turned a Teenage "No" into a Lifelong Passion
Fashion has always been my heartbeat, but my path to the runway was anything but traditional. Growing up, I adored beautiful clothes, even though buying them wasn't always an option. It was my mother who gave me my greatest piece of style advice, constantly reminding me: “You don’t have to be rich to have style and look classy.”
She was entirely right, and her words became the foundation of everything I believe today.As a teenager, I dreamed of becoming a model.
At 16, I gathered my courage and walked into the prestigious June Dally-Watkins agency in Sydney. With no experience and standing below the traditional height requirement, I was told I was too short and immediately shut down. For a long time, that door felt firmly closed. A Second Chance at a Dream Decades later, life brought me a beautiful full-circle moment.
"The runway wasn't just a dream anymore - it was my reality."
From Runway to Real Life
Four years ago, I noticed a friend starting a diverse modeling agency. She was looking for mature models, and without hesitating, I put my hand up. I spent a year and a half with her agency, absorbing everything I could.I said yes to every single photo shoot opportunity that came my way.
I did dozens of them, treating every lens as a teacher, constantly refining my poses, and elevating my skills.That dedication quickly unlocked the world of live runway: Toowoomba Fashion Festival: My very first high-end runway, where I have now walked for three consecutive years.
Queensland Arts and Fashion Festival: An incredible event I've proudly walked for over the past two years.
Ravishing Fashionista: Another staple in my career, walking for them for two years running. The Rush of the Runway, I still remember the exact feeling of walking my first runway.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t nervous—I never am. Instead, I was filled with pure, electric excitement. The adrenaline rushing through my body was surreal. Walking out from backstage, the bass of the music vibrating through the air, the blinding lights shining down, and the camera flashes exploding in front of me—it was a spiritual awakening. In that exact moment, I knew: this is exactly where I am meant to be.
"Dreaming has no expiration date."
Empowering Others Through Style Today, my passion has evolved into a full-circle career. I am now a certified personal stylist and runway stylist, with a deep, specialized passion for men's fashion.
There is nothing more rewarding than guiding people through a style transformation and helping them look and feel their absolute best. I want everyone who works with me to feel the exact same confidence and joy that I feel when I step into beautiful clothes.
The Journey Continues Reaching a point in my life where I 100% love what I do is what keeps me motivated every single day. I am living proof that dreaming has no expiration date.While I have achieved so much, I am still hungry for what is next.
My ultimate goal is to collaborate with an elite couture brand—representing them flawlessly on the runway and becoming a brand ambassador who proudly champions and elevates mature models on the global stage.
