This Nigerian-mixed Singaporean Chinese beauty only turned full-time as a model (with local modelling agency Mannequin) last year. But you might find her familiar as she won The New Paper New Face contest some years back.
Despite her past exposure though, she says modelling can still be challenging. “I can be unmotivated by general beauty standards. We’re all expected to be in line with the perfect measurements (34-24-34), but I know that I’m not naturally suited to that,” she explains. “But I remind myself that talent plays a part too.”
With her outgoing personality, it’s no surprise that she’s a regular on Tik Tok, the trending video-sharing social media channel, creating funny and entertaining content for her followers.
