Please introduce yourself, what you do, why you do it, and what you want people to know about you.
I’m an influencer as well as a model, and I also want to become an actress. I follow these paths because I have a deep passion for them. I hope to connect, inspire, and make a positive impact through my work.
What qualities make you different and unique from everyone else in the industry?
For starters, I adore learning, whether it’s studying a new language or delving into a completely new topic. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie as well, I love extreme sports like skydiving.
Recently, I’ve taken to sharing more aspects of my life online. You might have noticed my posts on martial arts or other hobbies. It’s a blend of the aesthetic visuals that everyone loves, interspersed with bits that reveal my true personality.
I’m into all sorts of sports and always ready to try something new. I get lost in books often, reading opens up new worlds for me. I share my views, thoughts, and experiences with my followers and hope that they might find them as enriching as I do.
Describe THAT moment when you realized you wanted to do what you do now. Who did you tell first? What has it been like since that moment?
I started to like social media when I was very young. At twelve years old, I began modeling and had an Instagram account. I was amazed by how influencers shared their lives and ideas with the world.
One day during a modeling shoot, I took some photos and shared them on Instagram. To my surprise, many people liked and commented on them. That’s when I realized that I also wanted to share my life and ideas through social media, just like the influencers I admired. The first person I told was my mom and she was very excited for me. It was the best decision of my life!
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve had to face and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge was learning patience as I grew my presence on social media. I typically like quick results, but growing a follower base takes time. Overcoming this was mainly about learning to wait and work consistently towards my long-term goals. In the end, it helped me grow as a person.
You are originally from Russia. What is the biggest culture shock you’ve experienced while creating content for your social media channels? How did you adapt to it?
The biggest culture shock for me was realizing that what is popular or acceptable in one culture may not be the same in another. To adapt, I’ve made an effort to learn about different cultures, engage with my audience, and listen to their feedback. This has helped me create more inclusive and relatable content.
If you had to describe your content in 3 words, what would they be?
Aesthetic, lifestyle, adventure.
What do you enjoy most about creating content for your followers?
Creating content allows for a lot of interaction with followers. You get to share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with others. In turn, you receive feedback, appreciation, and engagement from them. This interaction can be what makes content creation especially rewarding. Furthermore, getting attention in terms of likes, shares, comments, and followers can feel validating and inspiring, which drives me to create more interesting content.
What is your favorite TikTok video that you’ve filmed so far, and why was it your favorite?
Here is a link to my favorite video: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSL4teDsC/
All of the elements together – the music, the lighting, and such a perfectly timed wave, It’s great when unexpected moments align perfectly together…and it satisfies my perfectionist side.
Can you tell us about your favorite in-person encounter or meeting that you’ve had with one of your followers?
Interacting with followers in person and hearing how my content positively impacts their lives is really fulfilling. It’s these personal interactions that truly highlight the power and reach of social media content.
You are also training to become a stunt woman/stunt performer. What made you want to do this?
Turning my passion for extreme sports and love for adrenaline into a career as a stunt performer sounds like a perfect blend. I’ll get to challenge myself physically and mentally while doing what I love.
What lifestyle changes have you made so far in order to be in top shape for your stunt training?
I’ve amplified my exercise routine by focusing on strength, agility, and martial arts. I’ve switched to a balanced diet for optimal energy and recovery. Rest is a priority too because it helps me to avoid injuries. To stay sharp mentally, I meditate regularly. This new routine pushes me physically but makes me healthier overall.
You’re also into boxing and martial arts. How did you discover these hobbies?
I started boxing and doing martial arts out of a desire to stay active and challenge myself. The intensity and discipline these sports require sparked my interest, and they have not just become hobbies but are now a part of my lifestyle.
How do you hope to apply your interest in boxing, martial arts, and stunt work into your social media content?
I plan to keep posting about my progress with boxing and martial arts so my followers can see how I’m doing.
What is one interesting thing your fans don’t know about you?
If there is something people do not know about me, it’s probably because I prefer to keep it private. However, I mostly try to be open.
What advice would you give to young people who want to work in the entertainment industry or as a content creator?
Believe strongly in what you do, learn to be patient, and work consistently towards your long-term goals.
What are your professional goals for the next year?
My goals are self-improvement, focusing on personal growth, self-awareness, and building or improving skills. I also want to practice mindfulness and develop healthier habits.
