Do you know where you got your drive from?
From my parent’s encouragement, but also from training in figure skating as a kid. It motivated me to be a hard worker and made me a stubborn perfection seeker. I also need to mention my best friend/agent/stylist Patrick Vimbor. Without him, I highly doubt I would be where I am today. He taught me that perfectionism and rigour will make me rise to the top.
How do you stay self-motivated?
I always set very high goals for myself. I like to keep an organized schedule that I follow religiously in order to achieve the dreams I had since my childhood. When I can cross one from my bucket list, I’m on to the next one!:)
How would you describe your process for deepening relationships?
I think that listening is a great way towards showing respect and empathy to another person. I believe that thought this process a true feeling of trust can be put in place and solidify long term relationships in friendship like in love.
What are your preferred tools for keeping organized?
My online calendar. If you take it away from me, I might have a mental breakdown!
Who has been your mentor in helping you find success?
Older women are always important to be remembered and to be looked upon as inspiration. They have the experience to guide us through difficult times and have the vitality to lead the way to a brighter future. My mother is my first mentor, she gave me the tools to succeed today.

a fitness ritual that you live by?

How do you feed your soul?
By spending time with my friends and my family. They are the rock that keeps me grounded.
How would you describe the eating ritual that makes you feel most powerful?
I feel the most powerful when I eat healthy, organic and tasty foods. However, I love to treat myself when I feel like it, a good slice of pizza and a bag of chips can really hit the spot. It’s all about balance; when I can control this balance, I feel the most powerful.
