Who is Vida?
Who am I, truly? I share more than just a name with the protagonist of the Beautiful Vida myth; I share the longing, but mine is for creativity above all else.
In my free time, I attend various filming sessions and write poetry. When I can't express my emotions on paper, I express them through movement, as I have been a dancer since the age of six. I often find inspiration in nature and animals, which is why I also practiced horseback riding when I was young. Ultimately, I am also Miss Slovenia 2022, a title of which I am truly proud.
As an ambassador of the country on the sunny side of the Alps, I want to present our beautiful country to the world in the most creative and innovative way possible. This word also accompanies me in my role as an ambassador of the project "Spread VIP Zasavje," where I will not only creatively raise awareness among Slovenes about the importance of integrating people with special needs into our society but will also personally help build a support network for their easier inclusion. In doing so, I encourage everyone not to be afraid to be different, not to be afraid to be their "true selves," and not to forget that our "smallness" is actually an advantage, as it allows us to come together more easily and support each other.
The Miss Slovenia project has helped me overcome obstacles in both my personal and professional life. School gave me a lot of theoretical knowledge, but it wasn't until the project that I realized how the business world actually works. The project's business partners gladly opened their doors to me and provided knowledge and answers to all my questions throughout my journey, for which I am immensely grateful. I would also like to thank Jelka Verk, the owner of the Miss Slovenia license, who has been pushing me forward all along and believed in me even before I believed in myself, Flavija Bornšek, who always found the right comforting words, and Maja Čolič, Miss Slovenia 2020/21, for always providing support and passing on the knowledge and experience she gained when she was the reigning Miss.
