Words cannot describe how much I admire this girl. Tessa has a strength which I haven't seen in many models. She is so unapologetically herself and for that I love her to pieces. Rarely one to pretend she is something she is not, her sense of humour and character is something I can only dream of possessing. If only all people this beautiful on the outside were such on the inside!
Get to know her a bit better below and follow her adventures on snapchat assetmaye.

Dream job would be... A huge make up campaign! Charlotte Tilbury comes to mind- I love all the film star make up looks she does.
Favourite job was... Being “the girl” in an Axe commercial. Any job where I get to work with my friends is also up there.
What do you like to listen to on a shoot?
The photographer is always the DJ! If I had my way we’d all listen to rock music and I’m pretty sure I’d lose a lot of friends haha.
Guilty pleasure?

Has modelling changed your opinion of yourself?
Modelling can make you feel really empowered and confident, and then hours later make you feel very insecure and out of control. It has definitely made me care less about what people think about my body and my ‘look’, because at the end of the day everyone is wonderful in their own way and clients always want different girls for different jobs. (This is what makes Tessa, in my eyes, rather special. A lot of not so strong girls get down by not being the right look/size/shape, but Tessa totally has the right attitude about this!)
How has modelling changed other aspects of your life?
It has naturally made me more aware of diet and exercise, which is no bad thing as a healthy lifestyle is important for anyone. It’s also quite hard to plan things, or commit to anything, as you never know what you’re going to be doing and where you’re going to be! My friends and family have to be very patient.
Modelling has inspired me to travel more, you’re definitely spoilt with shoot locations and the potential time off to explore this beautiful world. My credit card now takes a beating with flights and air bnb!
Who are you into on Instagram?
I obviously follow all my friends, especially my model mates who I’m their number fan haha. I’ve just got a puppy and his instagram is @mrbubbagram I also love: @beautifuldestinations @triangl @mrbenbrown
Favourite knickers style?
I prefer a more playful set with a lacey bralet, compared to something too structured or padded.
I seem to wear a lot of Calvin Klein sets for castings, but I also absolutely love Mimi Holliday and Eberjey. Dreamy.
In Your Knickers or In clothes?
In a bikini... on a beach... with a cocktail. #inmyknickers ;)
