I was born in Serbia on April 2, 1977. My parents, Milica and Velibor, my brother and I lived in Gornji Milanovac. When I was 20 years old I left this small town for the U.S. to pursue my life-long dream of becoming a fitness model/model.

Needless to say, those first few years in a new country, living in a new culture, learning a new language were tough for me. But I never gave up on my dreams, never stopped working out and taking care of my body and my health.

When I met Marko, my working out partner, who was also to become my husband, I was highly driven to compete in fitness contests and ready to take the first step toward attaining my goals. Together Marko and I become personal trainers.

I competed in my the first show in NPC, I came 5th. The next day I sent my photos to several fitness magazines and modeling agencies. Finally I got the first call, did my first photo shoot for Oxygen, and since then I have appeared on numerous magazines, TV commercials, and infomercials and ... what else can I say?

I'm living my dream.
