Katharina Damm isn’t a household name just yet, but if she keeps up her current pace, that soon may change!

The 24-year-old Danish beauty has already made a name for herself in the modeling world, shooting with such renowned photographers as Patrick Demarchelier, Randall Slavin and Kenneth Ward, and now with the support of mega-producer Harvey Weinstein, she’s set to become the next big name in Hollywood. Earning roles in two of the Weinstein Company’s most-talked about films of 2014— The Giver, starring Meryl Streep, Taylor Swift, Katie Holmes, and Jeff Bridges, and St Vincent De Van Nuys starring Naomi Watts and Bill Murray— Katharina is set to become fashion’s next multi-hyphenate success and with the portfolio to prove it!

In anticipation of Katharina’s forthcoming Hollywood takeover, we’ve pulled together ten must-know facts about the stunning model-turned-actress, whose talents go well beyond the runway. Here’s what your need to know:

1. Katharina got her start in modeling while studying acting in New York as a teenager. After being told that she was too short to model, she decided to focus more on studies in acting. While traveling abroad to St. Tropez, she was discovered by a French booker who was looking for a new face to cast in the Curve fragrance campaign— Katharina was that face! Following the campaign, her modeling carer took flight, and soon, she was gracing the covers of Denmark’s top magazines.

3. In addition to being an animal lover, Katharina is also a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie. In the past, she’s bungee jumped from the Oribi Gorge in South Africa— the highest free-fall in the world!

4. Growing up in Copenhagen, Katharina also spent a considerable amount of time skiing with her family, eventually becoming a professional skier. To this day, she continues to going skiing with parents and her two brothers twice a year.

5. While keeping busy with her acting career Katharina has not forgotten her love for fashion. Growing up in Copenhagen and watching her parents create and develop the SOS Black Snow ski apparel brand, Katharina learned the fundamentals of fashion and design. Inspired by her family’s business and a love of the snowy white mountains, Katharina soon took stake in SOS Black Snow and began to design fashion-forward and edgy apparel for the brand, which has become hugely popular in the ski world.

6. Katharina studied at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Academy for two years before studying at the New York Film Academy.
