Eventually at age 15, she was able to start a modeling career for Hair and Bridal Fashion Shows in Addis Ababa.

This year , she has been working enthusiastically to exhibit her Ethiopian traditions on major shows by creating a fashion collection that is made in Ethiopia. Salome is a social entrepreneur and believes in the importance of collaborating with Ethiopian women who specialize in traditional fabric making to bring authentic designs to the international fashion market. According to Salome, the women she collaborates with are very talented and all they need is an opportunity to showcase their creative work to the rest of the world.
