— How did you become a model?
My journey into modeling began in an unexpected way. While I was living in the United States, strangers would often stop me on the street and ask if I was a famous model — some even assumed I already was. At first, I was surprised by the attention, but it got me thinking. Maybe I really should give modeling a try. As it turned out, my father has a friend whose daughter was working as a model with MAG Model Agent Group. Through that connection, I got the chance to step into the world of fashion — and that’s how my modeling career began.

— What’s a story your family/friends like to tell about you?
My family loves to tell the story of how, when I was a child, I was once chased by a pack of dogs. It’s become one of those legendary family tales — dramatic, a little funny in hindsight, and always a hit at gatherings.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
My favorite TV show is Dexter. There’s something incredibly fascinating about the complexity of his character — a forensic blood spatter expert by day and a vigilante serial killer by night. I love how the show constantly plays with moral boundaries and makes you question what’s right and wrong. It’s dark, suspenseful, and surprisingly emotional at times. Plus, the storytelling keeps you hooked from season to season.

— Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?
One of my favorite memories is from when we were all younger. There were no fences between my yard and my friends’ yards. It felt like we had one big garden where we could spend time and play together. Overall, my childhood is full of great memories, but one that stands out is when my little sister was born. I used to call her “little dot / pünktchen” because on the ultrasound, she looked like just a tiny spot. It’s a simple memory, but one that’s really special to me.

— What are 3 interesting facts about you?
1. I love riding motorcycles — it’s one of my biggest passions.
2. A few years ago, I started a small business with a friend. Although I’m no longer running it, the experience taught me a lot about independence and what it takes to be self-employed.
3. My father is half Iranian, which gives me a mixed cultural background.

— The most interesting thing about your family:
What I find most beautiful about my family is my parents’ relationship. My parents have been together since they were kids, and even after so many years, their relationship still feels genuine and full of life. I think that’s pretty rare and something I really appreciate and look up to.

— If you were to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of your life, what would it be and why?
I would definitely say “Can’t take my eyes off of you” by Lauryn Hill my absolute favourite! This song makes me feel like I’m in a movie, and it’s a mix between emotion, sensuality, and a touch of melancholy.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
My favorite anime/manga is Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人). Freedom is at the core of the story — as a Ukrainian, it literally feels like our national motto. It’s something essential, something we have fought, are fighting, and will continue to fight for — just like in Attack on Titan. Words can hardly capture my admiration for this work. I’ve followed the series for nearly a decade, growing alongside the story and its characters. I’m fascinated by the ideas and themes woven into it, and even watching the anime or reading the manga for the hundredth time still gives me goosebumps. The characters and their struggles continue to inspire me and remind me of the power of perseverance, courage, and staying true to one’s convictions.

— What’s one non-physical thing you’d like to change about yourself?
If I could change something non-physical about myself, I would improve my memory. I study Japanese philology, and the amount of material I need to absorb every day is enormous. No matter how much time I dedicate to learning, I often forget the readings of kanji. I wish I could retain information more easily so I could progress faster and with less frustration.

— What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
The scariest thing I’ve ever done was getting lost alone in the mountains. Do I need to mention that I did it unintentionally? Hiking has been something I’ve loved since I was a kid, and when I started working abroad as a model at 14, it became my way to cope with stress. Back then, I didn’t have mobile internet because of circumstances, and since there’s often no signal in the mountains, I always planned my routes in advance, marking everything in a notebook or taking screenshots. When I was 15, I got lost in the mountains in South Korea after an old trail sign led me onto an abandoned path that disappeared. At first, I panicked so badly I burst into tears, because I had always been good with directions. Then I tried to navigate using the cardinal points and headed north, but I ended up at a vertical rock face I couldn’t climb. It was already getting dark, but eventually I pulled myself together, went around the ridge, and found the long way down. I returned in the dark, exhausted but safe.
