All contestants (2005)
Diana Anna B.

Hi, my name is Helen. <p>\nI was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1982. I came to Canada with my family in 1997. I received my Bachelor of International Business Program, Concentration in Marketing and Trade Program at Carleton University in Ottawa in June 2004. I spent one year of my studies in Santiago, Chile. After graduation I traveled for 2 months in Europe visiting my family and friends. When I came back, I got an internship position in Monterrey, Mexico where I spend last six months of my life. I traveled intensively through many parts of Latin America. I speak four languages, including Spanish and looking forward to learn the fifth one. Folkloric dancing is my biggest hobby that I was practicing since I was six years old. I dance with Svitanok Ukrainian group in Ottawa, Canada. I also love rollerblading, biking and really any type of outdoor activities. Anything that requires creativity attracts my attention. Recently I started a small hobby-business, making jewellery using crystals, pearls and gem stones. \n<br/><br/>\nI love travelling, as well as different cultures and languages. I am proud to have many friends around the world. \n<br/><br/>\nI started modeling in 2001 when I was asked to take pictures for one boutique store. My picture was used as an image for that store. I have been participating in runways and presentations in my school. I came back to modeling in Chile in 2003. Being blond and tall, I realized that there maybe some opportunities for me. I have been doing it since then. I am looking forward to the Miss Biniki Matryoshka 2005 competition in August. \n</p>
