I accept this opportunity with a strong sense of responsibility and dignity.

For a long time, personal branding was reduced to visuals, logos, polished feeds, and the ability to stay visible online. But that is only the outer shell. A real personal brand begins much earlier — in self-awareness, in clarity, in the courage to stand inside your own identity without borrowing someone else’s tone, image, or direction. This is exactly where my work with women begins.

For nearly three decades, I have lived inside a world that asks for vision, stamina, intuition, and absolute devotion

When a Woman Refuses the Usual Story

At Weingut Schüller in Pillersdorf, her presence runs through the story of the family like a strong hidden thread. Vines, work, daughters, grief, duty, love of the land — all of it meets in her. This is the portrait of a woman who kept a winery alive when the years turned heavy, who brought her daughters up inside that living tradition, and who handed them something far greater than an estate: a legacy shaped through effort, sacrifice, and days that demanded everything

Yes, there were moments where I felt I didn’t fit the typical mold. But over time, I realized that those differences are what make you unique.

Founder and host of The Feminine Voice, a premium podcast redefining how women engage in conversations around identity, femininity, and leadership in today’s world.

For those opening Woman Star World and meeting me here for the first time, I am a woman who has had to rebuild herself more than once.

I was born in a small town in the Far East of Russia, where music became one of my first loves.

A woman of the world. A mother, a wife, a lover of beauty, movement and life. I moved from my home country, South Africa at the age of 22 years old. I moved to Doha, Qatar for work, met my husband there, then moved to his home country, Croatia for 10 years. I developed a life there that deeply shaped me into the woman I am today.

For more than two decades, my work has been built on one principle — quality and high professional standards without compromise

You do not need permission. You do not need perfect timing. You need honesty. Because the moment you stop lying to yourself, you stop living a life that was never meant for you.

“What can’t I do? I can do everything!” — this is the mindset that guides me through life.

Winning the title of Mrs. Russia this year has been one of the most meaningful moments of my life.

Veliky Novgorod is widely regarded as the cradle of Russia and the birthplace of our statehood. It is a city of deep roots, enduring history, and cultural pride — and it is the place where my own family story began.

If my life were a book, it would already be thick with chapters: some cut through with challenge, others shining with beauty... Yet I never imagined that at 52 a completely new plot twist would appear — a beauty pageant stage in Greece, a sash across my shoulder, and the title of Mrs. European Continent Classique 2025 crowned by People’s Choice.

Sometimes life changes not with a grand decision, but with a soft yes — the kind you whisper to yourself when no one is listening. My journey from Mrs. Malta Classique 2025 to Mrs. European Nations Classique 2025 in Athens began exactly like that: quietly with curiosity holding my hand.

When the invitation arrived to join the Mrs. Globe platform and represent Austria as Mrs. Austria Globe, my reaction was very simple: I thought about it. A lot.

Today, I am a mix no one can replicate: fashion designer, master tailor, product developer, graphic designer, social media creator, web designer, brand architect. Once underestimated, now celebrated. I see what others cannot—the story behind a client, the story behind a person. From these stories, I create brands that make you feel before they speak.

Beauty for me is the ability to feel everything: to love deeply, to cry without shame, to rebuild after a fall, to keep dreaming.

I’m an actress, presenter, and digital creator, and none of these roles compete for my attention. They all come from the same place inside me, which is storytelling. Acting teaches me depth and presence. Presenting sharpens connection and timing. Digital creation gives me freedom. When one world feels heavy, I move into another and it recharges me. That’s how I stay creative, alive, and awake.

I was born in former Yugoslavia, in Bosnia, just before a time of unrest reshaped everything around us. My parents chose courage over comfort and moved to Austria with nothing guaranteed, only a quiet belief that life could be kinder for their children. They started again from zero and, step by step, brought my sister and me to join them.

Times of change always bring a test — and a chance... Our beauty lies in the harmony of differences, in the way we carry our heritage into the future...

And yet, beneath all that vulnerability, something in me refused to let go. Before I even had words, I made a choice. I stayed.

My story didn't start on a stage filled with lights and applause. It began in a clinic, in rooms filled with quiet hope and quiet heartbreak. There were days when I felt invisible, trapped between faith and disappointment.

I live a very public life, but the truest part of my day starts long before the cameras turn on. I wake up at five every morning. I like my home calm and in order, so I never leave the house with the bed unmade or things out of place. That first hour is my quiet ritual. When I have time, I run a long bath and let my thoughts settle there before the rush begins. These small habits taught me that when my space is calm, my mind walks into the day already steady.
