— Tell us about your hometown.
I’m from Wilmington, Delaware. I believe the best thing about Wilmington is how close we are to a diverse number of places. We can hop on a train to Philly, DC, and New York, or jump in the car to go to New Jersey/Delaware beaches, or to go skiing! The worst thing about Wilmington is how small it feels.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:

I used to play over the board, and I enjoyed it much more than playing on my phone. I also like watching all kinds of chess content, like tournaments or YouTube videos.

— What’s an essential part of your daily routine?
I have two essential parts of my daily routine. In the morning, I like to just chill, listen to music, and make breakfast; it really boosts my mood and energy for most of the day. Then in the evening, after I’m done with everything, I play a few games of Dota 2 with my friends before bed whenever I can.

— How did you become a model?
It’s a funny story. For my birthday in 2025, I wanted to get my lashes done, and so that’s what I did. Once I was there, the lash artist asked if she could take a video of me and post it on social media. A few days later she posted the video, and when I first saw it, I wasn’t much of a fan. I didn’t think I looked good in the video, but a lot of people seemed to like it. The comment section was just everybody complimenting me, which I really appreciated, and it got to the point where I got scouted. In the past, I’ve gotten the comment, “You should model”, but I never thought I could really do it until I got scouted from that video.

— What are 3 interesting facts about you?
1. I love to crochet; I started around 2020, when everyone was stuck in the house and I wanted to learn something new, but once I got the basics down, I stopped. Until around 2022, when a friend wanted a hat with cat ears, and I told her I could make it, but I needed to test it out first, so I did. Once it was done, I ended up really liking it, and I was so proud of myself! After that, you couldn’t stop me from making anything.
2. I love iced matcha lattes, but more than the average person. I like to take it a step forward and make everything from scratch. I make my own syrup from scratch, which takes about 40 minutes per batch. Also, every morning, I make my own hand-whipped cream/cold foam. A little secret is that I will add a bit of the syrup I made into it, just to make everything all tie in together.
3. I love to collect things. I love anything to do with blind boxes and being surprised by what I get inside. You will always see me with a bag charm or keychain; that is one of my essentials. My favorite figures to collect are “Sonny Angel” and any blind-boxes to do with “Sanrio”.

— Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?
My second birthday was special because my dad got me a dog, which was a Chihuahua, and that started my craze for Chihuahuas. I think they are the cutest type of dog, and I want one so badly right now.

— Tell us about your hometown.
The city where I was born is Minsk. I love it for the people it gave me while I was growing up. Without them, I wouldn’t be myself. But I can’t really call this city my home. I feel most at home in Tbilisi when I visit my grandfather. There, I can walk the streets for hours, climb mountains, and not feel like I want to leave.
