The Next Chapter

Can you tell us a bit about what you do for work?
I’m in the banking industry—I do home loans for clients, and a lot of other things here and there. It’s pretty boring actually (laughs).

Have you always been good with numbers?
Not really. I was actually in the fashion industry for more than 10 years, but I left because of personal reasons. And then I was in real estate for two years, and then I switched to banking just this year actually. So numbers is not my cup of tea. I prefer being in the fashion industry because I like colours, and I like to mix and match, so I really hope to get back into fashion! It’s where I belong.

Can you share a little bit more about your style and what you like wearing?
I’m a person who loves accessories. I really like to put on rings, earrings, or necklaces. I can’t leave the house without my studs and everything (laughs). I also like to dress in a lot of colours. At my boring banking job, I usually go with red suits, green suits, and accessories like colourful clutches. That’s my style at work—very loud (laughs).

Your tattoos are really interesting too. Could you also tell us a bit more about them?
My tattoos actually represent a big part of my life. I lost a daughter, so my leg, hand, and body tattoos are all about her life story. I designed them on my own, and every piece is a memory. I definitely want to get more though. It’s like Pringles you know, you can’t stop once you start (laughs).

Is there anything you’re looking to pick up or are working on at the moment?
I’m starting to write a book! I love to write, and I used to write personal diaries and a little bit of poetry, but this book is mainly about my daughter, and about my new life. I give myself say another four years to finish the book. I’m also picking up gymming right now. My partner and I used to just go running, but he got me to the gym so I’m trying to build my body up (laughs).
