“I was always mesmerized by its beauty as my family enjoyed classical music when growing up. Later, I found passion in the transverse flute as well. In 2022, During the Miss Czech Republic contest, I also played both instruments in the talent round dedicating the song to Ukraine showing solidarity, compassion, and humanity in these hard times,” she revealed during the Miss World talent competition.

Her project was also among the top 10 Beauty with Purpose projects where Europe was represented by two countries, including the Czech Republic and Ukraine, 3 from Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, and Uganda, and 2 from the Americas & Caribbean, Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago and 3 from Asia Region, Indonesia, Turkey, and Nepal.
