What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
For the past 8 years, I have worked as a print and runway model, and I consider myself to be very fashionable. I am very interested in studying Broadcast Journalism, focusing on the entertainment industry. I have traveled across the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe and hope to travel more in the future. I also enjoy drawing, writing short stories, photography and making scrapbooks as keepsakes to highlight my wonderful memories.

Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
Oprah is my idol because she is a strong, successful woman. She uses the tools she has at her disposal to make a positive impact on the lives of others and she is extremely generous. I think if everyone uses the tools they have at their disposal to help others, whatever they may be, it would make a tremendous impact on the world. I strive to be like her every day.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I hope to enjoy a successful career as a professional in the fashion editorial and/or Television Broadcasting. I plan on returning to school to pursue a degree in Broadcast Journalism, focusing on the entertainment world. My dream job would be to have my own Television show focusing on Tourism.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, and I moved to Canada when I was five years old. I have been exposed to cultures from all over the world, right there in what is known as the most culturally diverse city in the world (“A WORLD WITHIN A CITY”) as I have lived most of my life in Toronto with my mother. I still remember going with my mother on ‘trips’ to different ethnic areas in our city. Since my favorite food is Italian, I used to ask my mother to take me to Italy for pasta and we would go to the well-known ‘Little Italy’ neighborhood close to downtown Toronto.

What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
I think my height is one of the things that make me stand out in a crowd. Sometimes it could be a disadvantage, but in this situation, I consider it to be an advantage. I also think my fashion style makes me unique/different as I’m always looking to find interesting things to complement my wardrobe. I enjoy trying and creating new looks for me and my friends.
