#35 Michaela - Model [English]

TO Podcast #34 (FULL) interview w. model Michaela about life before, during & after a model career  Michaela is a 24-year old model from Pretoria, South Africa working out of Cape Town, South Africa https://www.instagram.com/michaelazzzzzz/?hl=en https://www.fanjam.co.za/fresh-faces-girls/1394749/michaela-vz https://www.thefaceparismanagement.com/model/michaela-van-zyl  I met Michaela through my hospitality school. During her studies to become a part-time waitress, I heard she is about to fly out to Italy for three months to work as a model. I instantly thought 'why the hell would you continue to study to be a waitress'. She finished the course - which I probably would not have if I heard I am working internationally as a model; plus; waiters are not treated all that well in SA - and showed a resilience, desire and humility during the training. These hardworking qualities are rare not only in humans but especially younger people. When hearing she used to do MMA - mixed martial arts - I really got curious to see who the person is behind the 'plain / rebel' looking image.   Our conversation almost went two hours where we talked about: 1) How she became a model 2) What to expect when you are a model 3) Her tertiary degree from TUKS in Information Science 4) Healthy lifestyle & nutrition 5) Her MMA 'career; 6) Working abroad 7) We analysed/ discussed 10 pictures from her career  8) Social Media 9) Modelling agencies 10) Being a professional model
