Career[edit]
Australia's Next Top Model[edit]
Sophie entered the Top Model House along with 15 other girls. As the show progressed, she evolved from a commercial to a high fashion look, particularly the 'fur shoot' where she received best picture.
She was told by Doll Wright from Elite Model Management that she could work overseas. Until the last episode before the live finale, Kelsey and Sophie were on the bottom two and the judges could not decide who would join Amanda. Therefore, they decided to bring both girls until the end. Sophie became the last eliminated on the live finale.[2]
