As a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? A veterinarian.
What were you doing before modeling and do you miss it? I had plenty of time, so I did a lot of experiments and handy crafts, which resulted in a huge mess. My mom for sure does not miss it.
Describe a favorite childhood memory: I had a wonderful childhood, all of the moments are my favorite, but the best ones are with my mom or my cousin.
What do you see yourself doing after your modeling career? Cutting people. I want to be a surgeon.
Name two songs you know all the lyrics to: Ingrid Michelson — You and I; A Ukrainian song called “Vidpustu” — “Let me go” by Okean Elzy.
