I was born and raised on Sakhalin, a small Russian island to the north of Japan. My upbringing was characterized by the presence of two younger brothers and parents who were always working, instilling in me a sense of responsibility from an early age. The realization of my innate desire to make something of myself materialized at the age of 17, catalyzed by an unexpected encounter with a modeling scout who discovered my profile on social media, ultimately leading me to sign my first agency contract in Moscow and the initiation of an international modeling career.

Presently living in Los Angeles, I adeptly navigate the dual realms of modeling and my academic pursuit – I am currently studying biology. When I’m not caught up in the daily routine, I am often experimenting in the kitchen, trying out recipes that really push my cooking skills. I’ve also been geeking out on art history lately, making it a point to visit museums in every city I go to. For me it’s not only about the art – each museum visit is an informative crash course in the culture and history of the place.

I’m a nature lover too! I make it a priority to explore outside major cities, whether it’s hiking, relaxing in parks, or finding hidden gems off the usual path.
