About Me:
I’ve always wanted to work in the modeling industry; it was my dream to see myself on billboards, to be a model for a high-end brand. Until now, it was just a dream, as I come from a family background where modeling is considered not a very secure and respectable job. But now that I am on my own and independent to make my own decisions in life, I would like to pursue my dream as a model.

Back in my country, I worked as an ‘Operating Theater Nurse’ for almost 15 years. During this period, I was called ‘Beauty with Brains’ by my surgeons because I was not only skilled in my job of assisting surgeries but also always well-groomed, wearing subtle makeup. I made sure to have good eye makeup since in theaters, we wear caps and face masks, so only my eyes were visible, catching everyone’s attention. I kept my toenails well-shaped and painted and wore a tidy uniform. Even when going out to work, church, or dining with family, I loved getting ready, paying close attention to my clothes, footwear, makeup, etc.

Even now, here in Edinburgh, I work as a carer, but I still ensure my hair is done neatly, and I wear light makeup to appear presentable to the people I work with. Now that I have the opportunity to work as a model, I want to prove myself and give my best in whatever I do.
