How did you fall in love with modeling?
Modelling keeps me dreaming and gives me confidence. I learn and see a lot from modelling.

How were you discovered?
I was about 5, 6 years old. On my way home with my mum after ballet lesson. A lady from a production house saw us on the street and asked if I wanted to shoot for a tvc.
What’s one of the most interesting shoots that you’ve done?
My ever first music video for a female singer (Kelly Chen) in Hong Kong. I have to carry a guy (40lb heavier than me) on the back and walked up and down the hill.
Another one was for McDonald tvc. My cast was a Geisha. I have to paint my face white. And took three people hours to dress the geisha kimono on me.
