Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in a small town in the middle of
Ukraine. Very different world out there :)
When did you come to California from Ukraine?
I moved to US when I turned 21. I lived in NYC for
a year and then moved to California. Can’t beat the
weather here!
What are the different languages you can speak?
I am currently fluent in three languages: Ukrainian,
Russian and English. About five years ago I could
barely speak English at all! Currently, my goal is to learn
Spanish but I can’t manage to be consistent with it so far.
What were you doing for work before you became a
cam model?
I started working when I was 13 and have changed a
lot of jobs by the age of 20 (when I started camming). I
worked in retail, office, restaurant service; I worked at a
theatre, sang in bars, washed dishes, waited tables, sold
clothes, modeled, etc., but once I discovered camming I
never looked back!
How and when did you get into camming?
I was initially introduced to the world of camming
when I was 20 by one of the photographers I worked
with as a glamour model. He recruited me to work on

his own website, which was private based, very strict
with schedule and rules and barely had any members. I
did do fairly well though, and it was a more consistent
income than a gig- to-gig modeling. Then while talking
to another model about camming she told me about
MyFreeCams. At first I got overwhelmed because on my
small website there were five models online at a time
at the most, and sometimes I’d be the only one. MFC
seemed to be a whole different animal and it totally was
but for the best.
How did you build your community on MFC?
In short: consistency and personality. When I first
started out I only knew what I learned on that first
small website. So all I did was back-to-back privates.
It was great and fun but it didn’t help me in building
a community beyond a few very loyal regulars. Once
I gained some knowledge and confidence I decided
to switch from privates only to no privates. That was
definitely a leap but it not only helped me to gain more
friends and regulars but also substantially increased
my income. Consistently being online at the same
time multiple times a week, growing your social media
following and being your amazing self are probably the
best pieces of advice I could give someone. Being pretty
and sexy is great, but people will stay a lot longer if they
like your personality.
