My name is Kristina, a 21-year-old psychology student from Russia, and modeling has played a significant role in shaping my life. Through modeling, I have learned to express myself, developed my social skills, and encountered countless fascinating individuals. I aspire to document the stories of people I meet during auditions and photoshoots in a book, as I believe that every story is unique and deserves recognition.

My primary goal is to use my platform to promote women’s mental health. I firmly believe that mental health is crucial, and I want to inspire every girl to lead a happy and fulfilling life. I hope to motivate people to perform acts of kindness and greet each day with a smile.

As a model, I believe it is crucial to promote sustainability and responsible practices in the industry. I am committed to working with brands and designers who prioritize ethical and sustainable production methods. Additionally, I believe it is important to raise awareness about the impact of fast fashion and to encourage consumers to make more conscious choices.

I am a strong believer in the power of sisterhood and supporting other women. I hope to use my platform to inspire and uplift other women in the industry, as well as those outside of it. I believe that when women support each other, we can achieve great things and create positive change in the world. I am dedicated to promoting this message and fostering a community of sisterhood and empowerment.

Participating in the Australian Supermodel of the Year program has been an incredible opportunity, and being named the Australian Supermodel of the Year 2023 is a true honor and responsibility that I am humbled to accept. I am determined to use this achievement to spread positivity, empower others, and make a meaningful impact in the world. As I embark on this journey, I hope to shine my light and illuminate the way for others.
