What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I like to challenge myself both in jobs and in sports. A good day is when I have accomplished my daily goal of getting closer to becoming a successful businesswoman. After that, I like to challenge myself physically, so I go jogging. To make the day perfect, I spend time with family and friends, sharing special moments with them.
Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My sister Helena is my best friend. She is 6 years younger than I am, but her manners and her way of seeing things in life makes her seem so much more experienced. She is an extraordinary person and she makes me and others want to become better human beings. Her way of seeing things in a big perspective is amazing, and I have deep love and respect for her.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
My ambition is to become a successful businesswoman. I started my own company as a fashion designer in 2005, and I am going to make it an international business with clients all over the world. Right now I am waiting to see my first samples, and when I have approved of the results, I will go to fashion fairs and contact clients myself.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I grew up in a village with my parents and two younger sisters. My parents have always been there for us, and they enjoy taking a big interest in our lives and in our friends' lives. My mother has been a housewife for many years, taking care of the house and garden, and my father has his own company. My parents’ love for us and for others is so warm and genuine. They have given me a wonderful childhood and a home – a secure base that I can always turn to.
What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
My compassion and dedication to helping others. My drive to succeed and my ability to see the big picture.
