Tell us about yourself

I'm Katerina, a model with Ukrainian blood. I came to the USA 6 months ago. Each day I pray for my country and each day I appreciate every moment under the peaceful sky and trying to live my life to the fullest.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I used to work as a travel agent and I love to travel, to discover new places in this beautiful world. But 6 month ago I participated in a meet up with photographers and I was in love with the process. I like to implement the ideas of photographers and come up with ideas for new shoots. Then there was a fashion show. Runway is the big dream of every little girl I guess, isn't it?

What is your biggest dream?

Hug my loved ones in Ukraine during the Victory.

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

To be beautiful means to accept yourself, every cell and every one of your unique differences. Love your body because you only have one. Keep your body powerful and healthy, be mentally strong and in harmony.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I'm happy to live nowadays, when you can mix the colors, fabrics, styles. But I usually pick everything that looks aesthetic.

Who or what inspires you?

Actually a lot! Definitely people who have achieved success through their hard work, perseverance and talent.

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

Don't be shy, it's time to represent yourself, open your talent to people around you, and you'll be surprised how many new opportunities open up.

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

After overcoming many boundaries and stepping out of my comfort zone, I managed to achieve a lot.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

Healthy lifestyle and harmony with myself.

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

Only accepting and comparing yourself with no one but only yourself a day before. Be the best version of you each new day. Every day do one step forward and appreciate yourself for each little goal. Step by step, day by day you can achieve your biggest dream. Be determined and never give up.
