“I started in 2010 when I took part in “Cynthia Kanema’s quest for Zambia’s supermodel”, were I managed to make it to top 16…. Before that, I really never even dreamnt about modeling, its something I stumbled on to give a try, and since then, I have just loved it…… I’ve gone on to get the title of Miss CBU 2011 when I was there for a year, I also made it as one of the 20 finalists in Pure Managements Model Search run by R&G events last year (2013), and I’ve done a few modeling jobs along side.”
