What made you decide to become a plus size model? When I was younger (and thinner) I had done a few photoshoots as a hobby. Later, I went on to study photo design and never thought about being in front of the camera again. In 2010 one of my friends told me about the Ulla Popken model contest and I sent in two of my pictures just for fun. I made it to the finals and even though I did not win, I was signed by my first agency shortly afterwards. That is how it all started; I never thought that I would end up being a professional model. Who are your favorite curvy role models? My favorite model is Candice Huffine and I have had the honor of working with her. She is an adorable and stunningly beautiful person. I also love Laura Wells because she´s so incredibly hot! What has been your experience being an aspiring model in Germany’s plus industry?
