<h2 style="text-align: justify;">What brings you to become an actress?</h2>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>From my childhood I was on stage, my first lead roles was in a kindergarten. Than I became a part of a dance group, I danced ballet, performed for 6 years. Of course when I was a teenager it seemed not cool to dance ballet and I became a model. I was a very successful model in my city and that led me to founded my own modeling agency. But when I was a businesswoman I missed a feeling, you know this feeling before going on stage. And I decided to become an actress.</li>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s a long journey. Where did you study acting?</h2>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>I studied in my city in Ukraine in a film school. While studying I filmed two short films, both of them won awards at national film festivals. Also I took acting workshops with a teacher who had been working in America for many years. He showed me what improvisation is and how American acting techniques are different from classic Stanislavsky. When I moved to Los Angeles I continued my education at Los Angeles Performing Arts Conservatory, where I studied Meisner, Stella Adler, Uda Hagen, Lee Strasberg techniques.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">What actors inspire you?</h2>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>There are so many of them. I&#8217;d say Anthony Hopkins, he&#8217;s a brilliant actor. I met him on set of a TV show Westworld, where I was featured, and I remember how I observed his every move, cause he&#8217;s a legend. And Jennifer Lawrence, she is incredibly talented and very charismatic. I hope one day I&#8217;ll work with her.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">You moved to LA just 1,5 years ago and have already been on set with Anthony Hopkins, that&#8217;s impressive! What else have you achieved already?</h2>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>I starred in a web project that viewed more than 250 thousand people, it was my first acting gig in LA. I filmed in 8 music videos, several commercials, two short films and performed on stage in 4 different plays.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">What are your future goals?</h2>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>I&#8217;m a very ambitious person. One of my goals is to be a series regular on a TV show.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Do you have any advice to aspiring actors?</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t be afraid to try. You can achieve whatever you want, just don&#8217;t be lazy and do what you need to do.</li>
</ul>
