Rali Ivanova owes her beauty to her Bulgarian, Russian and Italian heritage. She was born and raised in Varna, Bulgaria and at the young age of 15 was discovered by a cosmetics company. That discovery was the eye opener that made Rali want to become a full-fledged model. When Rali turned 19 she took the biggest leap in her career and moved to the USA.

She said it took a little getting used to, but she was a fast learner and before she knew it she fit right in—with an accent of course. While hanging out on the beach one sunny afternoon she was approached by a photographer who offered her a spot in a calendar. She was a natural and glamour modeling career caught fire. Soon Rali found herself modeling for catalogs and magazine covers everywhere. She’s even been chosen as the sexiest Bulgarian alive. Currently, Rali is working on building and expanding her own brand. We are know Rali is a shining star and has a bright future in whatever she does.
