First of all, thank you very much for the invitation and I am very grateful that you are doing an interview with me. girls, I hope to help many of you with this. don’t be afraid to get involved and don’t forget that smartness and beauty can go together, they never believed me.
1. Can you tell us about your journey into the world of modeling and beauty pageants? What first inspired you to pursue this path?
I have been very interested in modeling and the modeling world since I was a child. from a young age, the Hungarian Barbi Palvin and Edina Kulcsár, both of whom have achieved a lot in the modeling world, have been a huge inspiration for me. Barbi Palvin is one of the most successful models in the world, and Edina Kulcsár has achieved incredible results in the world of beauty pageants. at the beginning, I was very afraid to take part in it, because when I was young, a lot of people made fun of me because I was very thin and I had no self-confidence at that time. When they saw me trying, they always laughed at me and said I was worthless.I’ve tried many modeling agencies, but unfortunately I don’t have the right height, so I never really managed to get in, only at hobby level. However, I didn’t want to give up, so no matter how difficult it was, I thought I would try myself in the world of beauty pageants and I would like to continue this at higher levels in the future.
2. How did it feel to achieve the titles of Miss Éden 2021 1st Runner-Up and Felvidék Arca 2024 2nd Runner-Up? What do these titles mean to you?
The Miss Éden beauty pageant was held during Covid, so unfortunately I couldn’t be there in person, but it was a perfect beauty pageant to begin with. I was much younger then. I was 17 years old, I was different both externally and internally, but it was my first beauty pageant, so I was very happy. Felvidék Arca beauty pageant was what really inspired me. They gave me a lot and I had a huge desire to be on the podium and for that I am very grateful. What I am most proud of is placing in the Felvidék Arca competition, because I did everything for it, we had a difficult camp, we had a lot of sub-competitions and I feel that I got the most out of myself.
3. In your experience, what sets apart a successful model or pageant contestant from the rest of the competition?
In order to stand out from the crowd, it is very important to stay true to yourself and to be more confident than others. But I think it is very important not only to be beautiful on the outside but also on the inside.
4. How do you stay confident and composed on stage, especially in high-pressure situations like beauty pageants?
Before going on stage, I am very stressed in every situation, but as soon as I spend a few minutes on stage, I am much more confident and enjoy it a lot. I am constantly motivating myself to do it because I have a goal in mind that I really want to achieve. I always think about what can await me in the future if I reach that goal. I want to prove it to myself and others.
5. What was the most valuable lesson you learned from competing in Miss Éden and Felvidék Arca?
since the Miss Éden beauty pageant was organized online during Covid, I learned a lot there, especially about dress making. We had to make an evening dress and a bikini in an environmentally conscious way, which we had to present in a video. I have never done this before and it taught me how good it is to be environmentally conscious. from a young age I participated in many competitions, especially dance competitions, but I never knew what it was to really compete in a beauty contest, maybe then I realized that I would like to continue doing this. And the Felvidék Arca beauty contest taught me how to be good at working in a team, as I was surrounded by other girls who had the same goal as me. Also, during the entire competition, everyone encouraged me to remain myself, as this is my greatest gift in life and taught me that I don’t have to change in order to achieve something.
6. What role do you think pageantry plays in promoting self-confidence and empowerment for women?
My self-confidence has grown a lot since I got on stage, because I got a place, so it gave me a boost that I have to keep doing this. But if I hadn’t achieved a ranking, it would have given me a boost that I needed to improve. however, unfortunately, many beauty contests take away women’s self-confidence because, unfortunately, in many places they decide unfairly. And it has happened more than once that a girl won because of acquaintance. I was afraid that it might happen to us and I would lose my self-confidence and I wouldn’t want to do this anymore.
7. How do you prepare mentally and physically for a beauty competition? Do you have any specific routines or practices?
I often practice my walk at home in front of the mirror before a Casting or even a beauty contest. Also, listening to music helps me a lot before I go on stage. I also try to eat healthier and exercise a lot more during these periods. I try to exclude everything else from my mind at this time. of course, like every other woman, I have a beauty care routine the night before, which I put even more emphasis on in order to shine even more the next day.
8. As a successful model, how do you maintain a positive and healthy body image while working in an industry with high expectations?
I believe that if we are beautiful on the inside and healthy, it will show on the outside as well. If there is a problem or something bothers us, it is immediately visible on our appearance. So I think we should pay attention to our inner self first and then only to our outer self. I think nothing is more important than mental health and it’s no use trying to shine on the outside if we’re broken on the inside
9. What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your career as a model, and how have you overcome them?
I’ve been to a lot of modeling agencies who expected me to pay, and believe me, girls, if they really want you, you don’t have to pay. At that time I was still younger and it was very difficult for me to overcome the fact that it didn’t work out. After all, I knew that if they really wanted me, then I shouldn’t have to pay for my pictures, since I wasn’t sure that I would get a job with them either, because they couldn’t guarantee that. It was difficult to sort this out in myself, because when I went to the portfolio photoshoot, I already thought that it would definitely be a success. And the other thing that really touched me was that everyone said that I can’t be smart and beautiful at the same time. Many people believe that smart people are not beautiful and beautiful people cannot be smart. I want to prove this in the future as well, that the two can indeed be together.
10. How do you balance the glamorous side of pageantry with the more practical aspects of life, such as personal growth and development?
Obviously, personal life and model life are very difficult to reconcile. I only model as a hobby and go to photo shoots and beauty contests, but even so it is often difficult to reconcile with my personal duties, studies and work. I’m in my second year at law school and obviously studying takes up a lot of my time, but modeling is my biggest desire, so I always find a balance between the two.
11. Who has been your biggest inspiration or mentor throughout your modeling and pageant journey?
I look up to a lot of women, but Barbi Palvin, Edina Kulcsár, Eleni Balogh, Kendall Jenner are huge inspirations for me. My biggest support in all of this is my fiance, my parents and my sister.
12. What advice would you give to young women who aspire to become models or compete in beauty pageants?
I would like to tell all girls who are thinking about trying something like this or who are afraid to start, that you should not be afraid, because you have nothing to lose. all this can only give something positive and anything good in life. If you don’t do it, you will regret it later, because we only have one life and if we want to try something and do it, let’s trust ourselves and show everyone that we are indeed capable of it.
13. How do you see your career evolving in the next few years? Are there any specific goals or projects you’re working toward?
I have a lot of goals in life for the next couple of years. If I look at my personal life, I want to finish school and travel a lot. in addition, one of my biggest goals is to participate in even more beauty contests, since I was already second place, I was already third place, but I really miss a queen title in my life. My biggest goal would be to get to a world competition and I will do everything for that. in a few years, if we were to talk here in the same way, I hope I will be able to tell you more about my experience. I want to show the world that a woman can be smart and beautiful at the same time.
14. Lastly, what is one piece of advice that has stuck with you throughout your career, and how has it shaped the person you are today?
During the beauty competition, we had a dance teacher, Evelin, who told me at the end of the competition to always remain as I am and to always remain myself. I have kept this in my head ever since. This was a huge piece of advice for me in life, as it encouraged me to be good as I am.
