Please share something of your background related to your interest in fitness and this shoot.

I was born in the Russian Federation in 1972. For as long as I remember I've been an athlete. At about five years old my parents took me to the ever-popular gymnastics school in the USSR. Later in high school I played soccer and field hockey. I moved to USA 17 years ago and the started working out in American gyms that same year.

Please share with us a bit about your contest history and most memorable show experience.

Being a former gymnast from the USSR, very active and athletic all my life with a life long passion for healthy, yet delicious food and nutrition I had to develop great discipline thats helped me on and off season.

In May of 2014 I competed in Mrs. Florida America Pageant as Mrs. Altamonte Springs. About that same time I decided to get ready for my FIRST NPC bikini competition on August 16. That was my first season to compete and ended up being very successful. My first show was an unbelievable experience becoming Nationally qualified with 1st place in open class A, and two 2nd places in Novice and Masters over 30. Later I completed in three more shows, placing every time in top 3. I am getting ready for few more shows as we speak before stepping on the stage of National Show with hope to get my pro-card!

Of all the clothing and modeling/acting opportunities you could land what would be your favorite role and what would you wear?

I have passion for fashion, coming from Europe where ladies getting dressed up to go to the supermarket it is normal for me to love high fashion. I would be absolutely happy to model any type of clothing, including swimwear, fashion apparel or evening gowns. Even though I came from Russia, I love the beach and feel comfortable in any beachwear (cont. pg. 22).
