Russian Female model Katya Leonova from Khabarovsk, Russia
In 2000 I took part in my first beauty competition. It was held in our city. I didn't win any place but had a great experience. Finally I even got some prize. As far as I remember It was one of the sponsores of the contest who decided to give me that prize. After this I decided to try my good luck in our city best model agency FETF. I was taken to model school immediately. You know in Russia there are modeling schools. After that I send my photoes to some model contest which I've found in a newspaper. It was held by Cristina Semenovskaya and some Russian model agency. A month passed and I got a letter where was said that I was in number of finalists. Then I took part in fashion shows in our city. In 2001 I took part in one more competition but as amodel already. In 2002 there was held Russian part of Elite Model Look (Russian Far Eastern part) and Vitalii Leiba (the director of one of the biggest and oldest Russian model agency) said that I had an interesting face but bad skin. After this I made everithing to make it perfect and finally i did it. Now I want to work as a model most of all, but our city's agencies doesn't give any appropriate work.
I was born in Russia and live here now. I graduate from the institute in 2003 and my occupation is an interpriter of English an Japanese language.
