"I think some of my best qualities are being extremely ambitious, independent, and not afraid to start all over again," she told Naluda Magazine in 2023. "As they say, the most powerful people are the ones who can do everything themselves! I consider myself that. I was very independent early on. I don't rely on anyone."
