About Model

I am a South African woman who has built a life around resilience, reinvention, leadership and purpose. With more than 20 years of experience in Human Resources across South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, I have spent my professional life leading people, building teams, developing leaders and navigating complex business environments. But beyond the boardroom,there has always been another part of me — the woman who loves fashion, modelling, beauty, creativity and the power of a photograph to tell a story. My journey into modelling and pageantry has allowed me to reconnect with a part of myself that has always been there. I am not entering simply to have my photograph on a cover. I am entering because I believe a cover can represent a story, a journey and a woman who refuses to become invisible with age or circumstance.
