What is the best thing that I love about my work? The best thing I like about my job(s) is that I really love what I do and that my works fulfill me. By profession, I am professional opera singer, certified business consultant and life coach, and entrepreneur. My jobs and everything I do have the main purpose of helping people to live better, more beautiful, and healthier lives.

The freedom to create my own working hours is also one of the things I like about my work.

What is my idea of happiness? My idea of happiness is living and spending time with my family, doing what I do, being loved, healty and successful. Living in harmony with myself and with people that I love. Happiness , success and health of my family-my children and mu husband are very important to me. I would like to live in a world where there are no wars, destruction, climate disasters, diseases, drugs, and human trafficking.

I hope that one day we-the humans, will evolve to that point where we will be able to live with each other without all these things.

What is my greatest fear? I have no big fear in my life. My life-motto is the philosophy of Emmanuel Kant: “The starry sky above me and the moral law in me.” (E. Kant, Critique of the practical mind). I believe that if we live our life according to the principle of spreading and cultivating good in ourselves and towards others, there is no place for fear.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? I would say that it is sincerity and excessive sensitivity. We live in a time where the truth is not something that is highly valued and can often get you into trouble.

People today want to hear what suits them, regardless of whether it is true or not,
unfortunately.

Which living persons in my profession do i most admire? Among singers, that would be beautiful and great world-famous opera singer, soprano Anna Netrebko.

What is my greatest extravagance? That would be sweets and cakes, traveling and shoes 🙂

On what occasion would I lie? I don’t like to lie. At times when it is not good to say something or when it seems that lying would be the best option, I prefer to remain silent than to lie.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? Too many envious and unhappy people who, out of malice and envy, look to destroy other people’s jobs or projects. And they don’t choose the means. I also don’t like it when people ”steal” my ideas or my projects. “It doesn’t bother me that others steal my ideas, but it bothers me that they don’t have their own,” Nikola Tesla said. During the Covid-19, we launched a competition for opera singers named after my husband – International voice competition Boris Martinovich. It was the first online competition for singers, the first that had no age-limit and the first that gave singers the opportunity to present themselves online. Despite numerous efforts by various people from the profession to destroy the competition, we survived. Today, most of the world’s competitions for singers look the same as our competition, due to the online option and the abolition of the age limit.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? I am happy every time when I sing-perform on a concert or in the opera- production. My favourite concerts are the ones with my husband, the great opera singer Boris Martinovich. The moment when my book “Achieve your goals” was published and put on sale on Amazon is significant for me. Launching the first products of our AVY Health & Beauty brand : cosmetic line for women’s and men’s face and body care, organic vitamin and mineral products, as well as special alkaline and electrolyte enhanced water products was very important too.

If I could, what would I change about myself? Aging!

What is my greatest achievement in work? International voice competition Boris Martinovich, publication of my book ”Achieve your Goals”, and ”AVY Health & Beauty ” brand. There are many awards that I won for singing in my life, many great concerts and shows, however I think that there is a lot of singing in front of me, so there will be time for mentioning the greatest achievements in singing too in 15 or 20 years from now.
