More about me
Additional Information
Just a little background information, I had a bachelor in Psychology, a master in Speech-language Therapy and a postgraduate qualification in both Counselling and Primary Teaching (Special Schools). I minored in Vocal Performance and was trained in singing when I was doing my postgraduate. Among the many career options available, I have decided to choose to work full time in the creativity industry as that is what I am most passionate about. Besides modelling, I am very active in the community. I am an activist, as well as an advocate for women’s rights, education, inclusion and gender equality. I am extremely passionate about my community work, and am the charity spokesperson of a few organisations in the UK as well as overseas. Public speaking is probably my strength as I was trained in that when I was in secondary school. I am very confident in delivering speeches in the public and at events. I have spoken for charities as well as done a number of presenting jobs both in English and in other languages since I moved to the UK.
I am also a flutist. I have been playing the piano since I was 3, the flute since I was 5 and the piccolo since I was 10. I have been playing the flute in a band for 6 years, in different orchestras for 10 years, and was the principal flutist for 2 years. I used to teach little children the flute as a part-time student job. I learnt the cello and the recorder for a couple of years as well - although I no longer play the piano nor the cello professionally, I enjoy doing it as a hobby. I love to sing and dance as well. I went to a Dance School when I was in Norway and have been to a couple of Salsa competitions.I have learnt Ballet briefly and have taught Salsa in children's dance classes. I started singing in the school choir since 7 . I used to sing in a Norwegian band for 1.5 years when I was 20 and had regular performances on stage. You can see my singing and flute covers on my portfolio. I have a love for Art as well and I regularly donate my paintings for charity fundraising. I am not the typical gym girl nor do I have an athletic look, but I enjoy doing yoga. I was in the Girls’ Volleyball Team, Long-distance Running Team, Girl Scout, and Girls Swimming Team when I was in secondary school. I used to practice long distance running for 10 kilometres on the mountains with my teammates once a week. I competed in several cross-country marathons as well as the annual 10km marathon to fundraise for charities. I was honoured to win third place in the national cross-country marathon competition when I was 17. Although I work with couture and bridal brands mostly, I have also done a couple of sportswear catwalks and fitness shoots.
Last year's summer, I launched my eco-friendly fashion brand Angelic Rose Couture, with all the profits donated to conservation projects. All the designs are handmade by me with eco-friendly materials. My brand is partnered with Maka Global, a sustainable commercial brand, where I am the co-owner. Angelic Rose Couture has the vision of encouraging all brands to work towards the green agenda. We have long-term collaboration with UK charity Save the Animals Save the Planet, and have recently joined Adam and Alice Fashion Green Evolution Campaign in London. After all, we want a fashion industry that is beautiful both inside and out ♡!
Last but not least, I am very passionate about beauty pageants. As a former title holder, I love to encourage young girls to be a leader in the society, to love and embrace themselves for who they are. I have been honoured to be selected as the beauty judge in the UK for a few beauty pageants and I enjoy using that as a platform to advocate for body positivity, female rights and self love.
