— Did you always envision yourself pursuing a career in modeling, or did it come as a surprise? How did you first enter the world of modeling?
I always dreamed of being on magazine covers, shining and being seen, but I had never actually pursued modeling before. One day, I went to a numerologist for a personal reading, and she told me that my career path and purpose were connected to being visible — shining on red carpets, being recognized, and expressing myself publicly. Two years ago, I decided to finally give this path a chance and try modeling professionally. After that, I started studying posing and learning everything necessary for the modeling industry.

— What are three interesting facts about you?
1. I studied psychology, and I am also a psychologist.
2. I have a 24-year-old daughter who also started modeling after seeing me begin this journey. It’s very special for us to work in the same industry together, and almost nobody guesses that we are mother and daughter.
3. I believe in maintaining natural beauty through healthy and natural methods such as sport, facial massage, and self-care practices, which I study and practice myself. I truly believe this is the best path for a woman.

— What advice would you give to models who are considering entering the modeling industry later in life?
My advice would be to never think it is too late to start. Life experience can actually become your strength — it gives you confidence, discipline, emotional depth, and a stronger understanding of yourself. I wish I had known earlier that modeling is not only about appearance, but also about energy, personality, and how you carry yourself. If you truly love it and are ready to work on yourself, age should never stop you from following your dream.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
It’s hard to single out such specific things, especially when you really love them, such art, and they mean something to you. The book might be “The Lying Life of Adults” by Elena Ferrante, and the movie “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” I think these choices made me question myself, emotionally involved me, and made me a better person.

— Tell us about your hometown.
I come from Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of Croatia. Zagreb is still trying to find its place between a possible big European city and the traditional space and culture it has. It is not a metropolis, so on the one hand, it is quiet, there are a lot of events going on, and if you are lucky and have a good team, you can always have fun. I feel a slight conservatism about Zagreb and its inhabitants, and that is not the best thing. I miss the amount of people, the hustle and bustle, and some kind of happening that can be felt in the city. In a sense, the city can be dead.

— What are 3 interesting facts about you?
1. I appreciate and love art, and I would like to work and be productive in the fields of graphic design, photography, and film.
2. I am a kinda loud person, I like to be in the thick of things, and I am extroverted.
3. I would say that I am a bit hyperactive in a good way. I like to be on the move and create different things; I am versatile.
