About Me:
I’m based in Hackney, London, with roots that stretch further — I was born in Portugal, grew up between Switzerland and France, and my parents are from Cape Verde. That mix of places shaped how I move through the world and connect with people from different backgrounds, and I speak five languages — English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Cape Verdean Creole — which gives me an ease shifting across cultures and settings. I’m passionate about modelling and acting, and I’d describe myself as very creative — I’m naturally an over-thinker who likes to look at things from angles other people might miss, which I think translates well into how I approach a shoot or a character: I want to understand the story behind it, not just hit a pose or a line. I keep myself in shape through boxing and working out in the park, which gives me discipline and physical presence as well as a level of focus I carry into everything I do. Growing up across three countries taught me to adapt quickly and read a room, and that same instinct helps me take direction naturally and shift my energy to fit whatever a brief calls for. My background means I don’t fit into one box, and combined with genuine creative drive, I think that range is exactly what I’d bring to modelling and acting work.
