Can you tell us a little about you?

My name is Sarah Paulus and I am a model from Germany. After my apprenticeship in marketing I studied business administration and finished my bachelor in 2022. Then I decided to focus on modelling. I would describe myself as ambitious and determined. Personal development and growth are important topics for me and I am always up for new challenges. I am also passionate about sports. Going for a run, to the gym or recharging at a yoga class helps me to find a good balance in life.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

My impatience. Things in life are often a process which needs time no matter if we are talking about a career, personal things, relationships or any other goal. Sometimes you just need volition and patience to grow.

How did you start modelling?

I started modelling during my studies. A friend of mine worked as a photographer and brought me to do a photo shooting with him. I uploaded some of the results on social media and got in touch with other photographers, models and agencies. That was how I started to build a network of people from the industry who pushed me to do modelling professionally.

What do you think of the work as a model?

For me it is one of the best jobs you could have, even if it is not always an easy job. I love the opportunity to get in touch with so many different people and characters and expressing yourself on one side but also to slip into different roles on the other side. The work as a model offers so many great opportunities which is really exciting.

What is your beauty regimen?

Taking care about my body and soul. I try to keep a good balance between working out and eating healthy but also doing things good for the soul. For me beauty comes from the inside. Feeling comfortable with yourself and your body is real beauty.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

I am myself and when I get something into my head I can be really assertive. I would describe myself as an ambitious person who could work hard if she wants something but is also really kind on the other side. I care about the people around me and a harmonic atmosphere on set is always important for me.

What are your plans for the future?

Growing in all areas of life and of course working on my own business. Life is a journey and you never know which opportunities it will provide you. I will focus on my modelling career and start with my master in marketing this year.

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Be yourself and don’t let anyone dissuade you from doing something. Always believe in yourself and work for your goals and don’t compare too much. Everyone is unique and has its own strengths. For me personally it helped me to connect with other people from the business.

What do you think of the magazine?

It is an honour for me to have the opportunity to be part of modellenland magazine. I love all the creative work in here and it is interesting to read about the different perspectives from photographers, models and other creative people.
