Age: 17

Born: March 12, 1991

Made in: Northern Territory

Just try not to like this laid-back Northern Territory high school student.

The fashion world is a far cry from Sara's current lifestyle, which consists of her final year at Casuarina Secondary College, shopping and movies with her friends, and riding her bike to the beach.

But in her first ever catwalk struts and photo shoots as a Make Me a Supermodel finalist, Sara has discovered a world in which she believes she would happily exist.

Born in Adelaide, Sara moved to Katherine between Alice Springs and Darwin in the Northern Territory. At age 9, her family moved to Darwin, where she now lives and loves every minute of it.

Sara's dream is to be signed by a major international label so she can travel the world.

"I can't wait for school to be over," she says. "When I leave I may go to uni and study business, it's my favourite subject at school, but to work in modelling would be amazing."

There is good reason Sara has not modelled before Make Me a Supermodel – her mother.

"For my whole life mum has been preserving my childhood," Sara says. "Since I was 10 I've been dying to give modelling a go, but mum was sure I'd get picked up – like any mother would think – so she didn't let me try it. But now she couldn't be more supportive of me."

When she is housed with the other Make Me a Supermodel finalists, Sara says she will endeavour to be everyone's friend.

"I'm casual and laid back. I don't like to limit myself to little groups, I prefer to get everyone involved," she says.

"It's so nice to be able to spend time with such a unique group of people. I'm a bit worried about the competitive element, but I can handle it.

"My motto for the show will be the Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the serenity
to, accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference"
