Best Known For

Working with famous brands and designers and walking the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

First Fashion Show

Romee debuted with Ready to Wear – Spring / Summer 2012 fashion show and walked for Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Burberry Prorsum, Cacharel, Céline, Christopher Kane, Giambattista Valli, Hakaan, Isabel Marant, Jil Sander, Louis Vuitton, Loewe, Nina Ricci, Prada, Roland Mouret, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Personal Trainer

She appeared in Victoria’s Secret Fashion 2014. To prepare for the show physically, she underwent a 4-day boxing camp in Tulum. Romee took the help from New York City’s Aerospace gym owner and trainer Michael Olajide, Jr.

She works out daily without missing a single day. But, there is one thing, she doesn’t like, and that is Romee does not like to exercise all by herself. So, she goes to classes every day. She goes to SLT, Aerospace gym, does Ballet Beautiful, and Pilates.

But due to her modeling career, she does not get to stay in one place for long. She is traveling most of the time. So, Romee does her workout in her hotel gym, if possible. For instance, she would do 30 minutes of cardio (running) followed by 15 minutes of rope skipping, followed by 15 minutes of ab exercises.

If she is free in the evening, she also gets to tune into Mary Helen Bowers’s 7:30 p.m. Ballet Beautiful Live virtual fitness classes via her computer.

She keeps herself hydrated by drinking lots of water. She listens to songs while working out to motivate and push her to exercise more. Here is her workout playlist.

Regarding diet, she eats healthy stuff. That doesn’t mean, she does not get cravings. She gets, but Romee feels better and full of energy if she eats healthy stuff. Before a fashion show, she strictly doesn’t indulge in junk food.

She keeps changing her eating plan. Romee eats stuff like almond butter, fresh fruits, yogurt, and seeds on a typical day.

Refueling the body after a workout session is a must. And, Romee knows that. Hence, she eats an apple, some nuts, a smoothie, or juice.

Her afternoon meal and evening meals are mostly cooked by her such as baked chicken or fish with lots of veggies and spices.
