About me

I’m an actress, writer, former international fashion model, entrepreneur, and mother of three.
My career began in the fashion industry, where I worked as a model internationally across Europe, Asia, the United States, and Australia. Those years gave me invaluable experience in front of the camera and introduced me to the world of visual storytelling — something that naturally led me to acting.
Beyond modeling, I’ve always been passionate about creating opportunities for others. I helped develop several online projects for models, including Typical Modeling, one of the largest Russian-language communities about the modeling industry, and The Face Online — a digital fashion competition that discovered new faces for international agencies. I also founded Krais Models, a scouting and development project for emerging talent.
Alongside my work in fashion and acting, I write articles, stories, and screenplays, exploring themes of human experience, creativity, and personal transformation.
I’m also an entrepreneur. On Gran Canaria, together with a partner, I co-founded the children’s creative club Las Flores de la Vida, creating a space for creativity and personal growth for kids. Today I’m involved in touristic rental business as well as real estate investment and development projects.
For me, creativity has many forms — acting, writing, storytelling, building projects, and raising my three children. All of these experiences shape who I am and the stories I want to tell.
