As a girl, Gin also took dancing and gymnastics lessons and went for three years to a music school where she learned to play piano. When Gin was 10 years old her family relocated to Germany where she grew up and went to school. She continued her artistic development with a private tutor in piano, ballet and modern dances lessons, but also painting. At the age of 14, Gin joined the Youth Theatre Group "Freundallee" under the direction of Masha Kurakina at the Jewish Community Centre in Hanover. But Gin also always had a passion for writing and languages, having been writing poems and short stories since being very young, and she decided to go into that direction. She graduated from the University of Hildesheim in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in International Communication and Translation and earned a Master of Arts degree in Linguistics and Intercultural Communication in 2014. Gin took on many different jobs, but soon gave up the office life which never seemed to make her happy, opting instead to pursue a career in modeling and acting. Soon after moving to London, Gin switched back to acting and modeling, honing her talent at the ART-VIC Theatre, the only Anglo-Russian theatre in the UK.
