Half English and Half Chinese which has given me a unique and versatile look, which can be used to represent many different cultures. I have an all year round natural tanned skin tone.

Driven, reliable and hard working; I love working with people, whether being directed or providing input.

Previously showcased new designers' clothing at gigs. Hair styled by the Toni and Guy Academy.

I thrive on being the most eye catching, memorable girl in the beautiful crowd.

I am a keen horse-rider and enjoy swimming, this ensures my body stays in peak condition.
