Donna Romey As Cover Story Interview – July 2025 Magazine Edition
How do you introduce yourself?
Originally from the Philippines, now living in Australia, Donna is working in a clinical research company that helps bring ground breaking treatments to the global health market. While she is passionate in her pharmaceutical profession, she also has ardent inclination for acting and modelling. She had pageantry and runway stints during her teenage years and has modeled for the Philippine Model of the Year. Now in her 40s, she is living proof that no matter how old you are, it is never too late to reach for your dreams. She continues to live by her principle that there is no shame in striving to age gracefully with style while being confidently beautiful.
Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?
I used to lose confidence and doubt myself as I age because I always think that modelling is only for the young and skinny. The moment a model matures, she becomes less appealing. But I realized, your expression for fashion through modelling shouldnt expire with age. Thus, I joined the QLD New Silk Road International Modelling Contest in 2023 where I won 2nd Runner Up. This made me regain my confidence and realized that women over 40s still deserve to be seen, represented and included.
I am now 46 and couldnt be more comfortable with growing older. I am unapologetically embracing my age and still feeling at the peak of my prime in chasing my dream of becoming a model.
What do people usually not know about you?
I have a deep passion in acting and singing since my childhood years and participated in a few theatrical auditions in the past- one of my core memory was auditioning for Miss Saigon Philippines in the late 90s. I also love playing the piano during my spare time, which was a passion I developed and grew fond of during my childhood years.
What sets you apart from others?
Now at my 40s, With my life experiences and wisdom, i have gained a sense of confidence that embodies values of sympathy, versatility and sophistication. I have been through a lot of struggles and many life experiences, which made me find the silver lining in facing the shadow to become who I am today.
What are your upcoming major events ?
Catch me on a few upcoming runway shows in Melbourne in the next few months, and am prepping up for a brand shoot soon.
What expert advice would you like to give?
Embrace and celebrate your age! There is no shame in pursuing your dream regardless how old you are, as its never too late to start doing thigs that you love.
