If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

If I could change anything about myself I think that I should be more out there and I shouldn’t be hard on myself.

How did you start modelling?

Well I was independent when I was 16 started to do promotions which led me to meet a lot of interesting people one of them was a famous actress and she asked me if I had walked the runway before the pay was really good so I took the risk and I rocked the run way.Since then I never stopped.

What do you think of the work as a model?

The work as a model is great. Yes it can get hectic if you have back to back bookings. And it takes a very very long time to get in the market from country to country.So basically it’s not just a job because you have to always promote yourself on a daily basis. And keep your connections and humble.

What is your beauty regimen?

Sports and eating clean.No alcohol for 30 years.I believe that also makes a huge difference.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

I believe everyone is different and beautiful in their own way.Im competitive with myself and never with others.I love to teach and learn from the others. Always calm and I do have good patience.

What are your plans for the future?

To hit the Scandinavia and Europe in commercial and editorials.I just signed up with the first commercial agency in Århus Smashed modeling Agency. So my plans are to sign up with a few more and I’m very very excited.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

I love them all. And I have gained different knowledge in each of them.Rawan Maki talented Bahraini designer based in London currently, she published my images during the FW17 that was a great feeling ever and being published as a first Bahraini model in Vogue Arabia for the same designer.

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Stay healthy, humble and take every project as your own.

What do you think of the magazine?
