Tell us about yourself

I was born in Arkhangelsk Russia and adopted by my Mom & Dad when I was almost 4. I love modeling and acting and my life in America and feel blessed.

What is your biggest dream?

I have a principal role on "Law & Order" as well as appear as a model in a national print ad for a major brand.

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

It means that you need to have beauty from within and be kind to people even if they aren't kind to you. That makes someone really beautiful on the outside as well.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I have modeled for bikini brands KK Swimwear and Northern Lights Tie Dye Company and walked the runway in NY Fashion Week for Janay Deann Designs as well as other talented designers. I am an influencer and model for Vera Moore Cosmetcs sold in 40 stores nationwide including Walgreens and I did a commercial for the brand.

What is your dream brand to model for?

So many I can't name them all, but I love Victoria Secret, Old Navy, Ralph Lauren and the list goes on and on!

How would you describe your fashion style? Hip, modern, fun!

How important is self-awareness and confidence to you in your everyday life?

I think that being confident is very important in your everyday life. It helps you succeed in whatever you attempt to do as well as in being kind to others.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I have an inner strength and kindness and am blessed to have natural blonde hair, small Russian features and blue eyes.

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?

Find something you are good at and focus on it so you excel and that will give you confidence and don't worry about what others think of you. Develop confidence from within.
