Hi, my name is Niki,

I am 16 years old and have a passion for singing, dancing, acting, and modeling. I enjoy various sports, especially basketball and tennis. I am athletic, intelligent, funny and competitive when I need to be. At the moment I am a T.V. Host for a reality T.V. series premiering in Spring 2007 based on interior designing and home improvement. I also do background commercial work for various production companies, some of which include: Gateway Computers commercial, Kohl's Department Store commercial, and a scene for reality T.V. sitcom "Amazing Race". I am a competitive Latin dancer of 8 years and won many awards in the past including 1st in the Ontario and Canadian Latin Dancing Championships. I am also a vocalist, in which I've had professional training for 4 years and participated in several concerts and shows throughout this time period. I recently began modeling and am currently working on expanding my portfolio.

I am interested in competing in Matryoshka because I love fashion, meeting interesting people, and being involved in something challenging. I think I can win Matryoshka 2006 because I have a fit body with slight curves which makes me stand out from most girls, as well I have confidence in myself that I display effectively. I would like to get more involved in the Russian community and this competition is a great opportunity for me to do that. If I win this competition, I would like to donate a portion of my winnings towards the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of my grandmother.
