Hello everyone! I would like to thank you for stopping by my page and looking at my profile. I'm very honoured that you have taken a few minutes to read my page :) ******************************************************************** I've been modeling for a couple of years, and I'm always looking for more opportunities. ******************************************************************** ~Originally from Russia but raised in Canada, I speak Russian, Spanish, English, and some Hebrew. ******************************************************************* ~As a former competitive long distance runner, I understand the value of hard work and setting goals. Everything is about doing one's best. As an avid athlete, I was a regular volunteer at track and field meets. ******************************************************************** ~The past summer, I was a volunteer at an organization that helps the homeless people in Victoria. I enjoyed every minute that I was there and I believe that community work is the best way to give back for everything that I feel I've been blessed with. I definitely hope to come back again. ******************************************************************** ~In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, doing photography, and blogging. ******************************************************************** ~Art is fascinating, and I enjoy the process of creating. ******************************************************************** ~I am hoping to meet some like-minded people who love fitness, fashion, and philanthropy. ******************************************************************** GOALS for the Future: ~Finish my commerce degree ~Organize a fashion show to raise money for the homeless people ~Run across Canada while fundraising for charities ~Write a very informative blog that talks about the reality of the "modeling industry" (using this term very losely, as modeling is unique for everyone), as opposed to the fantasy of the TV shows. ~Sell enough images to contribute a large amount of money to the SPCA. ****************************************************************** Where you can find me on the net: Blog: http://aviva-model.blogspot.com/ Website: http://anatkhempler.net/ Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/ModelAviva?ref=ts ******************************************************************** ps. I am a KIKO fan! He is my hero in this competition. He was one of the former winners of Benetton, and I'm very happy to have conversed with him.
