Family: I grew up in a family where there is no word of prejudice, intolerance and mistrust. I am grateful to have wonderful parents who helped me grow from a small girl into a Woman. That’s the best crown I could get. Also I have a younger brother who is my big support, protection and love. He is future basketball player and I am very proud on him. He is the only one in the world who can make me angry and absolutely happy in one hour.
Childhood: My country has been trough heavy twenty last years , so my or any childhood in that twenty years can’t be spectacular. I trained in karate and swimming, went to acting school and learned languages. I remember reading Harry Potter books, watching Disney toons, listening to Maroon 5, Madonna, U2. Also I remember school tours to Italy and Greece- those memories are a lifetime wealth. The greatest memories are from the seaside in Montenegro ( where I have grandparents), where I have spent every summer since I was born. There I met my best friends, had a first date, went out for the first time… That’s why I have strong bond with Mediterranean sea and water, I enjoy every second spent on the beach not only on swimming days, but even more by night when I can watch stars, listen to waves and enjoy that salty smell of the sea.
Pageants: Beauty pageants are very special to me in many ways. Why? Pageants though me how to behave in public, how to express my inner beauty, how to cherish my outside beauty, how to appreciate good friends, how to understand and love different cultures and people, how to fight in peace, how to compete with elegance and to upgrade my self as a person every day.
