What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I am striving to one day become a successful business woman with my own firm; I hope to manage a hotel and spa. I enjoy learning new things. I have danced for 13 years (hip-hop, disco, Latin, and belly dance), and I teach dancing to young people to earn money for college.
Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My sister. She has guided me in my life, has taught me about dancing from her training in Italy and has also taught me a lot about makeup and cosmetology.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
To manage my own business. I am in the second year of a four-year program at the American College of Management in Dubrovnik. After graduation and the completion of a 6-month co-op program, I will begin a career with a large hotel chain.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
Split is Croatia's second largest harbor city on the Adriatic Sea. The city has a rich history dating back nearly 2000 years. The heart of the city is the Diocletian Palace built by Roman Emperor Diocletian as a summer residence. I spent my childhood in Split with my mother, father and my older sister.
What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
My height and my independence. I have been cooking from the age of 6 and currently have my own apartment.
