Rising Stars: Meet Maryna Bakhmatska of Houston

Today we’d like to introduce you to Maryna Bakhmatska.

Hi Maryna, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started working as a model at the age of 16. Worked for svorveski, Volkswagen, YSL etc. when I was in Ukraine. Also got an opportunity to travel to various European countries for the modeling job. Due to war situation in Ukraine I had to come to USA to work. Before moving worked in a war zone to check the document and allow people safe accommodation.
After moving USA, i worked for Kangol hats and walked runway NYC fashion week. Then I found my soul mate in NYC and we got married. We have two beautiful kids now. As they are growing I am focusing on getting back to the modeling. But things are different here in USA, the agency asking money without even checking my portfolio which I don’t find right. Also enrolled into college to complete the degree now and composing and singing songs as hobby

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Modeling
Worked as professional model. You will find me on some magazine covers as well.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Ukraine is suffering and I want everyone to understand the severity of the situation there
