“I’ll be starting university soon, and I’m most excited to make new friends. I do have a close group of friends right now, and I definitely love them, but it's always nice to meet new people and see how they're living different lives, and going through different experiences.”

“I’m currently learning Japanese but I also want to pick up Korean, Italian, Spanish, French, Bahasa Indonesia, and American Sign Language, and also brush up on Mandarin. My dream is to be a polyglot, to be able to speak languages at a conversational level to connect with people.”

“I love doing crafty stuff with my kids at home. I’ve taught them how to paint, make sculptures, and play music. I also like to create comedy skits with my husband on TikTok! The world is quite a depressing place these days, so we do this purely for a good laugh.”

“I’ve noticed that my whole aura has changed for the better since I started modelling last year! Through modelling and interacting with other people in the industry, I’ve really come out of my shell and gained a lot more confidence.”

“I love travelling—one of my favourite places to visit is Melbourne, Australia, though I don’t get to travel there as often as I’d like to. I just love the vibes, the people, the thrift scene, and the local art and design markets there.”

“I’m currently working as an Account Manager, but if I wasn’t in this particular field, I would love to be a dog sitter so I can be around dogs all the time! Or professionally dressing Barbie dolls—I’ve heard that’s a thing.”

“All of the tattoos that I have are on my arms, and they’re mainly of things that I like, whether it’s flowers, animals (I think lions are my spirit animal), or words and quotes that I live by. I might get more in the future, but I have no concrete plans for that yet.”

“My wife Shanell and I are huge foodies, and we recently visited a Brazilian steakhouse. I love steak, but I’m quite particular about how I like them (almost moo-ing and as rare as possible) so I prefer to cook them myself.“

“As parents, we try to support our kids as they build their own characters, but at the same time we’ll always want to hold them close no matter how old they become. My children are all grown up now, but they’re still living with me and I’m thankful for the time we get to spend together.”

“I remember my daughter’s first trip to visit family in Indonesia. It was so heartwarming when my parents met her for the first time.”

“Not many people know this but I was signed with a modelling agency for a year. I gave it up because I couldn’t juggle between modelling and my full-time job and I didn’t see modelling as a profession that I could sustain, so instead of diverting my attention, I decided to focus on my career.”

"I wake up at 7AM everyday when I travel because I want to try everything and make the most out of each day. Most of my family and friends don’t feel the same though, so I usually enjoy sightseeing and exploring on my own in the early mornings.”
