I woke up to the sound of my parents arguing about money again. It was a constant thing growing up, but I never really understood why they couldn't just talk it out like normal people do. Maybe that's where my fascination with philosophy began - trying to figure out how adults' minds worked.

After school, I started dancing at this small studio in Kiev. The teacher was an old Russian woman who used to be a ballerina herself and she had such a way of moving her body... it was like magic. She taught me everything from the basics to advanced techniques and I just fell in love with it all.

When I turned 18, my parents said I could pursue modeling as long as I finished school first - which I did. Then I got discovered by this famous Ukrainian photographer who wanted to do a shoot for Vogue magazine. We spent days shooting around Lviv and the whole experience was just surreal. Ever since then, I've been working non-stop with various brands and models. It's crazy how fast time flies when you're doing something you love.

Would you like to know more about me? What would you like to ask? Maybe we can grab a coffee and talk about life philosophy over there in the corner?
