If you want something badly enough you’ll make almost anything work. Yes that’s correct, now when I think about those early years of modeling it makes my head spin! I really have no idea how I pulled together my schedule, but it worked. Do you have any suggestions for other aspiring models who are trying to launch their careers? Unless I’m mistaken, you started your modeling career simply using Model Mayhem when you were still in high school while also maintaining a job, an internship and extracurricular activities as well. I decided I wanted to have full control over the looks I would create for myself, and just did all of my own makeup and styling. So it could become a battle for creative control. There were certain looks I felt looked best on me, while an MUA might have other ideas. Later I learned that I have particular things that I liked and disliked when it came to doing my makeup. So I picked up the styling and makeup myself, mostly due to interest, and partially due to necessity. I’ve always had an interest in cosmetics too, and have been applying makeup on myself for years before my modeling for the competitive sports I participated in. When I started modeling and putting my shoots together, MUA’s weren’t really readily available for a new model, or required payment, which were funds I didn’t have. Are you entirely self-taught? Have you always done your own styling or did something happen to lead you to that decision? (I guess my question is that if you haven’t always done your own, did you have any really bad styling/makeup experiences that made you want to just do it all yourself, or was there another motivator?) In addition to being a model, for the most part you are very particular about styling yourself and doing your own makeup. In fact, had it not been for the injury, I may not have even had the opportunity to do what I do today. I suppose the injury could be considered drastically life changing. Later I ended up joining high school cheerleading squads in two different states. After some time and rehabilitation, I wasn’t able to fully go back to gymnastics, and switched to rhythmic gymnastics instead. The injury happened during my first year as an acrobat, where I fell from a stunt and injured my elbow. By high school I decided if I were to go to school, I wanted to go to art school, where a gymnastics scholarship wouldn’t have helped me anyways. The scholarship was really my mother’s plan to get me through college without the financial stress, however it wasn’t exactly an aspiration of mine. Soon after I did start my training in gymnastics, with my parents as my coaches. I believe I was around three years old when we moved to the states. Could you please describe for our readers how the injury happened and how you handled the drastic life changes that occurred as a result? A devastating injury ended your aspirations of getting a college scholarship for gymnastics. You were born in Russia (which was then the Soviet Union.) Your bio states that you moved to the states at “a very young age.” How old were you exactly? At that same time your parents began your extensive training in gymnastics, which you did for more than 10 years.
