Career biography: From an early age, I was drawn to creativity & the beauty industry. At the age of 16, I completed make-up courses & later explored hair styling, broadening my professional perspective & understanding of aesthetics. In 2005, at the age of 18, I began my professional career in the nail industry. I trained under the guidance of an experienced professional & started working in a salon, where I gained a strong practical foundation & my first professional experience. Later, I worked in leading salons in my city, continuously improving my skills & regularly advancing my professional knowledge. I attended advanced training courses, educational programs & master classes, with a strong focus on quality of work & professional development. For over 20 years, I have been working as a nail technician. This profession brings me satisfaction, inspires me & motivates me to continue growing & developing professionally.
Personal biography: My main hobby is creativity in all its forms. I love sewing, knitting & drawing, as well as exploring various creative directions. I especially enjoy working with colour, combinations & visual concepts. I am inspired by design disciplines, interior styling & the work of stylists. Creativity inspires me, supports my growth & is an integral part of my life.
Why you believe in nail competitions?: I believe in nail competitions because they set high professional standards & support the growth of nail artists. Competitions provide an opportunity to step outside everyday work, objectively assess one’s level, discipline & technique & discover new approaches & industry standards. They motivate continuous learning, skill improvement & professional development, while also bringing the professional community together & inspiring progress.
Advice to other competitors: My main advice to other participants is not to be afraid to compete & to see competitions as a path to growth rather than only a fight for results. It is important to prepare thoroughly, respect the rules & standards of the competition & focus on discipline & quality of execution. Even if the outcome does not meet expectations, each competition provides valuable experience, new knowledge & a clearer understanding of your level. Most importantly, believe in yourself, keep moving forward & use competitions as a source of growth & inspiration.
