— How did you become a model?

When I was only 4 years old, one of the models did not come to the fashion show in Moscow. One of the officers came to me and asked me if I would walk on the runway once. When I came in, I liked the atmosphere very much and I accepted. After winning the beauty contest at the age of 5, agencies started reaching out to my family.

—What no one knows about you/your features that are different

1-I can speak Russian, English, French and Turkish fluently. I can speak Italian at an intermediate level.

2-My father is a former intelligence officer, I grew up in control at home. But he's been running our own company for too long

3-Actually, I wanted to be in the background of the fashion industry, not in front of it. Half of my childhood was spent playing with computers and drawing. When I was 14 and 15 years old, I made a lot of progress in software and chose my university accordingly. I learned many software languages ​​by volunteering in the infrastructure of many companies (at the beginning of our own).

—You won the crowned beauty of Russia, what was the biggest reason you entered the competition?

Every time I watched a competition, regardless of country, I always chose an idol for myself. As time passed, I realized that the idol was actually myself. I made such a decision when I was only 15 because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone.
