I am a girl from a little town who went a long, long way. From humble beginnings as cow girl, I first showed my business acumen and earning potential with my own little herd of sheep at the tender age of 12.

I was a child called 'gypsy' by those who knew me- not only for my dusky complexion, but the free-spirited and untamable nature that would take me hitch-hiking and exploring even as a very young child.

My hard-working nature took me on to greater things- by 15 I was retailing clothes and then my own home-made vodka [in true Russian spirit!].

I was born in Russia, but my early German heritage- my ancestors came to Russia during the reign of Katherine the Great. My family moved back to Germany, during the "perestroika", a decision that enabled me to further my education in Beauty industry and landed me a job with a German cruise line.

I found myself backpacking to Australia. Ever entrepreneurial, I funded my travels picking fruit, culminating in building my first business- a Builders Cleaning firm.

Following by an online shop for clothing and Today I am a founder of Marvellous Feet, and currently am focusing on transforming the Beauty industry in Australia and New Zealand especially in pedicure and foot wellness: www.marvellousfeet.com
