In December 2012, the Swiss edition of Maxim magazine graced her with the cover and its annual title of "Most Beautiful Woman of the Year".[15][16][17]

Tchoumitcheva has worked with several modelling agencies including Option Model Agency (Zurich), Oxygen Models, Tess Management, and Elite Model Management (Barcelona). She was with Impact Model Management from 2007–2010, and started with Wump Model Agency before being signed with Elite Model Management (Miami) in 2010 until 2013.[2]

After she graduated from the university in 2010, she travelled to New York and took acting classes at the New York Film Academy.[5]

In January 2011, Tchoumitcheva finished shooting a role as a rockstar in the French cinema production Bob et Les Sex Pistaches starring the French actor Jules Sitruk.[29] She also appeared in the film Without Men with Eva Longoria and Christian Slater in 2011.[5]

Among several hosting engagements, she presented the Miss Switzerland 2011 pageant live on the three national channels on 24 September 2011.[30]

In March 2012 Tchoumicheva started to host her own TV show about successful Italian businesses called "L'Italia che funziona", on Italian channels Rete 4 and Italia1.[31][32][33] She also hosted Miss Ukraine 2012 in Russian, alongside the Russian comedians "Prozhektorperiskhilton" (ПрожекторПерисхилтон).[34][35][36]

Tchoumitcheva's date of birth has widely been reported as August 5, 1987. In late 2010, her website began reporting her date of birth as August 5, 1989, making her two years younger. The 1989 year of birth continues to be widely reported.[5] Reporters for Schweizer Fernsehen, a Swiss public broadcasting organisation, interviewed representatives of the Miss Switzerland pageant, who noted that she had provided proper identification. They also reported that had she been born in 1989, she would have been ineligible for the competition. On December 6, 2010, the network reported a statement from Tchoumitcheva confirming the 1987 date of birth.[44]
