My name is Maria. I am proud to represent my beautiful country, Kazakhstan, while living in one of the world’s most ambitious cities — Dubai.
Moving to Dubai became a turning point in my life. Faced with the choice of a new career path, I chose real estate — a field that reflects my passion for scale, growth, and human connection. Today, I work as a real estate broker, helping people find not just a home, but a space for their dreams.
Pageantry has long been a part of my life. I previously participated in Miss Kazakhstan and Miss Almaty, and I truly love the process. For me, it’s not only about beauty — it's about self-expression, confidence, and new opportunities. I believe this contest will support my personal brand and contribute to my success in the real estate industry.
I am also an active volunteer, supporting animal shelters in Kazakhstan. In addition, I am a certified chocolatier and pastry chef — for me, creating sweets is an art form and a way to share warmth and joy.
I move through life with an open heart, believing in the power of femininity, kindness, and ambition. My goal is to inspire others by leading with purpose and authenticity.
