Tell us three things we might not know about you.
I am from a very small town of 500 people called Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. My family is from Belgium and I eat chocolate more than any other food group.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by people who live unconventional, freely and seek to constantly evolve. I also find most of my inspiration in writing, poetry and music.
What’s on the top of your bucket list?
On my bucket list, I would love to go to Japan. It’s a place that I’ve always wanted to go to. I think it’s so cool, and I love sushi. It would be so great.
How do you manage time between social media and your personal life?
absolutely adore being active on social media. It has become a part of my life, and I truly love sharing the BTS of my life from a real and honest perspective. However, when I start to feel burned out or in need of a break, I do it. I simply turn off my phone and put it on ‘do not disturb’. I have a nightly routine of turning my phone off at 9 and reading for an hour or so, which I feel plays into a healthy balance as well.
As a creative in a world with new restrictions, how have you found ways to create content and engage with your audience on social media?
My audience has grown exponentially; and I believe it’s because, now more than ever, they are on their phones, and they are paying attention to the creators who have intention behind their platform. Creating content that delivers a strong, optimistic mindset is what I love doing most. Engaging with my audience has been easier than ever because I feel like, for once, we are all relating to the same battle in one way or another.
Is there anything we can expect to see from you in the last few months of 2020?
I will release my last filter, RARE! I created three filters for Instagram stories after struggling to find filters that didn’t alter my face (bigger lips, smaller nose, etc). It is so exciting to share these filters to the public because I feel like they really embody the females that follow me. They helped me pick the names; they feel beautiful using them and love the message behind it – it’s a win-win for me. (You can find the filters if you search LIBERTY, EMPOWER or RARE by

What do you love most about the Four Seasons, Punta Mita?
I loved the balance between jungle and ocean! Every morning waking up to go get my coffee took me from my ocean view room, across cement bridges surrounded by large trees, through dense jungle and birds chirping in the background, to the Dos Catrinas with a stunning overlook of the white sand beachside. This mix made the resort very unique and I can’t wait to be back!
How do you stay up-to-date with beauty and fashion trends?
I personally follow a lot of trend setters- girls like Bella Hadid, Rihanna and Kendall Jenner who inspire me on social media are where I keep up!
What’s your ultimate beauty tip?
Always moisturize with Pixi Beauty +C Vit Brightening Perfector before you put on your Pixi Beauty Balm so it goes on silky smooth.
How have you been incorporating fitness into your daily routine?
Working out is a very big part of my lifestyle! One of my favorite memories of our trip was slipping into the super comfortable Lorna Jane set and doing morning yoga in the palapa. Doing a workout first thing in the morning is key for me.
If you could spend a day with anyone anywhere, who would you pick and where would you go?
I would take my grandpa to Spain where he left when he was 12!
What are three key ingredients to a good life?
Healthy mindset, laugh often and never stop learning.
What would you like to say to your fans and people reading this?
I love you!!!!
What do you love most about Modeliste Magazine?
I love that it embodies a diverse group of go-getters from around the world to come together, create and become better versions of themselves as strangers.
What is your favorite part of our Modeliste Mode Around the Globe Four Seasons, Punta Mita getaway?
My favorite moment was our private going away dinner at the overlook. I felt all the girls gratitude, love for each other in a short amount of time, and true happiness. I was so blessed to be sitting at a table with so many talented, intelligent and innovative women.
