Taking time for yourself is essential for your well-being and personal growth. I love working out, hiking, going for walks, baking with my mom, and creating content for social media. These hobbies bring me energy and a sense of peace. When I’m with the people I love, it’s always fun and filled with joy. These moments remind me of how important it is to nurture the relationships that bring so much positivity into my life.

As a child, I enjoyed watching pageants and found them fun to watch. Preparing for a pageant through working out, training, and staying disciplined is a rewarding experience for me. I appreciate how pageants embody the combination of inner and outer qualities—beauty, intelligence, and dedication—all coming together through hard work. I recieved my first national title in 2023 as Miss Europe Continental Norway, it was a wonderful experience. Now i have been crowned Miss Peace Norway 2026, which i am incredibly grateful for. Miss Peace International is a very meaningful pageant, because we advocate for global peace, and caring for our planet.
For me, social media started as a hobby, so i am really thankful for how much my page has grown. It just shows that when you love what you do and put in the effort, good things happen. Working with brands is really exciting, and I appreciate every opportunity that has come my way.
4.- What do you think is the distinctive, unique stamp of Elin in each activity carried out as a beauty queen and model?
I truly believe in the importance of staying genuine and true to myself in everything I do. I always try to work hard and put in my best effort, even when things are challenging, because I believe that dedication and sincerity are what matter most. Additionally, I strive to be kind and respectful to others, because I think building genuine connections is what truly makes life meaningful. I hope that these qualities come through in my actions and interactions, and that they help me connect with people in a heartfelt and authentic way.
5.- Whats is the main virtue that any woman must have to be an internacional model?
Resilience enables a woman to stay focused, keep a positive attitude despite setbacks, and continue pursuing her dreams with determination. Along with resilience, qualities like professionalism, adaptability, confidence, and humility also play vital roles.
6.- Are you aware of being an influential woman for thousands of girls who want to be models? How important is it to you to be an idol for many girls and teenagers?
I am aware i am influential for many girls, i am very grateful for this, however i don’t take this responsibility lightly. It’s important for me to be an idol, someone they can feel safe looking up to.
I want to be a source of encouragement, kindness, and authenticity, helping young people believe in themselves and their potential. I want to inspire, bring confidence, and promote positive values, i consider this a meaningful and valuable impact.
7.- What was your feeling the first time you modeled in front of a video camera? What did you feel the first time at a beauty pageant?
As my social media presence has grown, I’ve gained more opportunities, including brand collaborations and sponsorships. Because of this, every time I step in front of the camera to promote beauty and fashion, it feels more natural—thanks to a gradual process of growth and experience. When I received my first national title, pageants were still a new experience for me, and I embraced it as an exciting new challenge that I loved every second of. The feeling of that moment was truly unforgettable—something that words can’t fully capture. I am incredibly grateful for that memory.
8.- What do you think about the power of social media today?
I think social media today is both incredibly powerful and a bit complex. It’s amazing how it allows us to stay connected with friends, family, and people all around the world instantly. It can inspire, motivate, and bring awareness to important issues. At the same time, it can sometimes feel overwhelming or misleading, and it’s easy to compare ourselves to others. I believe its true power lies in how we choose to use it—when we use it to genuinely connect, learn, and share kindness, it can be a really positive force. It’s also very beneficial for influencers and brands, as it provides a platform to grow their brand, reach wider audiences, and create new opportunities. But like anything, it’s important to find a healthy balance.
9.- How do you like to interact with your followers on social media? Whats your favorite social media?
A lot of the time, I post about beauty and fashion collaborations, which my audience really loves. Whenever I share these, I always make sure to mark the post as a paid ad because I believe my audience deserves transparency. Being honest about sponsored content is incredibly important to me, as I think it helps build trust and ensures people know what they’re seeing. Besides that, I also share my travels, everyday moments, and special happenings, trying to give my followers a glimpse into my life. I make an effort to respond to most comments and stay connected with everyone who supports me. My favorite social media platform definitely has to be Instagram—it’s where I feel most inspired and engaged.
10.- What would you advise young people who have talent but do not dare to take the next step? What would you advise parents who do not support their children’s talents?
If you’re young and talented but feeling unsure, just remember that everyone starts somewhere. Believe in yourself, take small steps, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes, they’re part of growing. Surround yourself with people who support and inspire you.
For parents, it’s natural to worry, but just listening and showing you believe in your child can make a huge difference. Encourage them to explore what they love, and let them know you’re proud of their efforts. Sometimes, a little faith and understanding can help them shine.
11.- What important lessons have you learned from the world of fashion and beauty pageants?
From fashion and beauty pageants, I’ve learned that true beauty goes beyond just looks. Confidence, kindness, and being authentic are what really shine through. It’s about embracing what makes you unique and staying true to yourself. There’s a lot of hard work and resilience behind the glamorous image, and staying genuine and focused is key. Ultimately, beauty is a way to express yourself and love who you are, and that’s what truly matters.
12.- Elin, being a model for you has been easy? Were there obstacles? How did you overcome obstacles?
Of course, there have been some obstacles along the way, like moments of self-doubt or challenges in fitting into certain roles. What many people don’t know about me is that i am quite shy, which is sometimes difficult, but I’ve always focused on staying confident, learning from each experience, and reminding myself of my goals. Support from others and believing in my own worth helped me push through any difficulties. It’s all about resilience and keeping a positive mindset.
13.- Have you thought about being an actress? Do you like the entertainment industry?
Never say never! I believe it’s important to keep an open mind and not shy away from opportunities that come our way. My true passion is in skin, which is also what I am currently studying. In the past, I worked in accounting, as I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics. However, alongside this, i have always put time and effort into modeling and collaborating with brands, which is very rewarding to me, so i’m open to exploring other possibilities as well. I hadn’t really considered a career in the entertainment industry before, but I believe life can surprise us in unexpected ways. I’m always eager to learn and grow, wherever that path may lead.
14.- Worldwide, women have acquired a greater role even though there are societies where they are still abused. What is your opinion of the role of women in the future in these societies?
I genuinely believe that the role of women in society is going to continue to grow and evolve in the future. Even in places where women still face a lot of challenges, like abuse or lack of opportunities, I’m hopeful that change is on the horizon. As more people become aware and speak out for women’s rights, I think we’ll see societies start to shift toward greater equality. Education, awareness, and supportive laws are key, but so is cultural change—learning to value women just as much as men. I truly believe that in the future, women will have even more opportunities to thrive, contribute, and be fully respected. It’s about building a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can live safely, freely, and with dignity.
15.- Elin, what is your motivation and what do you feel grateful for every day?
I’m not heavily religious, but I do believe in God and try to live with faith. I go to church and aim to stay connected spiritually. My faith is an important part of my motivation in life. I am the most grateful for the loved ones in my life, whose presence brings me joy, comfort, and strength every day.
16.- Elin, Do you like to travel? What countries do you know? What other countries would you like to know and which places do you recommend to visit from your country?
Yes, i love to travel, and would love to travel more! I’ve had the chance to visit some countries in Europe and beyond. Some of them are Kosovo, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Germany, Turkey, and the United States. Since my roots are Albanian, Kosovo is very meaningful to me. I also really appreciate Turkey because I find it incredibly beautiful. In the future i would love to visit Egypt and Thailand to experience their unique cultures and sights. In Norway i would recommend everyone to visit stunning fjords, mountains, and vibrant cities like Oslo and Bergen. Norway is perfect destination for nature and adventure.
