Beauty comes from within, shouldn't matter what size or height you are, if you have a beautiful soul .

I'm 17 , from Ireland. I'm 5ft 5 which means I'm 2ins below the minimum required industry standard. I have been a finalist in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Los Angeles and an award winner at Top Model U.K. . I have been turned down by most of the Irish agencies because of my height , and there is not enough commercial work here either, it mostly goes to the main board models . But I am determined to succeed and list Mimi Ellashery and Devon Aoki as models I admire . I suffered from anxiety as a young child and still to this day , but have learnt to live with it as I got older. I would like to be a role model for kids to show them that anything is achievable .

I love singing dancing and socialising with my friends. I enjoy movies and have recently started pole fitness. I play Gaelic soccer for my school team and love supporting my county Gaelic team.
