“My parents were the ones who really pressed for me to get my masters and now I’m really glad that they did,” laughs Ivanova. “I can speak three languages, so I had been hoping to land in a job where I could be an interpreter for people that need it. Homeland Security would have been a dream job.”

I got the job and the whole modelling thing just kind of exploded after that. I decided to send in some pictures to Playboy because why the hell not? They called me to model just as I was starting to work on my masters.”
Balancing her two vastly different worlds wasn’t without its moments of frustration.
