For you, what defines a modern woman?

I think it would be a woman with a clear point of view on what she wants out of life, with humility and a great sense of humour.

What has been your biggest achievement?

Probably deciding to set up my own business Rosie Inc. about 18 months ago. Every day there is a new challenge but every day is equally as rewarding. Anybody who knows what it’s like to set up a business knows that it is full of ups and downs.

What was the impetus of starting Rosie Inc.?

It was really about creating a community of people who love beauty. Beauty has been a passion of mine since I can remember and I started to observe how positively friends and followers across my social platforms responded when I shared anything that was beauty-related. I’m always being asked for tips — what products I use — and tricks from the industry. So, I really wanted to create a platform where people could come and learn, and I could share all of the things that I’ve picked up over the past 16 years as a model.

How do you overcome self-doubt?
