What first sparked your passion for working in the fashion and beauty industry?
I loved watching America's Next Top Model. When I was 10, I would practice how to pose
and walk at home. I was completely obsessed with models.
How would you describe your style evolution over the past few years?
I grew up very tomboy and loved streetwear—I was all about a good tracksuit. But as I’ve grown, I’ve fallen in love with a chic, classy look. I want to be feminine, sophisticated, and polished—like a grown woman with high standards.
What’s a beauty or wellness ritual you swear by when traveling?
Always have bone broth, electrolytes, and water. Take the stairs, walk a ton, and get those steps in. Most importantly, let go of the stress at home and leave it behind.
What’s one item in your carry-on that you can’t live without?
My hygiene bag. I don’t play about that.
Looking back, what’s a milestone in your career that still feels surreal?
Being able to inspire millions of people. A quote from my podcast went viral, and to this
day, people tell me I changed their life. There’s no better feeling than impacting others in such a positive way.
What’s the most valuable piece of advice you’ve received from a mentor or fellow
creator?
Watch who you hang around.
With such a busy schedule, how do you prioritize balance and self-care?
From 8 AM to 12 PM, it’s my time. That’s when I focus on workouts, wellness, sauna,
reading, and having my first nutritious meal of the day. The rest of the day is dedicated to
work and everything else.
Was there a collaboration or campaign that felt like a true “pinch me” moment?
Working with Modeliste and being able to travel while combining both of my worlds—modeling and influencing—was honestly such a blessing. I’m so thankful for these opportunities and for feeling so seen and valued.
What’s a lesson you’ve learned about yourself through your journey as an
influencer?
I never had to hide my real personality. I stopped trying to fit into a mold, and I’ve found that I get so much love just by being myself!
Is there a mantra or piece of advice you remind yourself of often?
What I’m not changing, I’m choosing!
What was your favorite part of Modeliste’s Puerto Vallarta Getaway?
The boat day was so fun! Hanging out with the girls, sipping my virgin piña colada, was a
dream. The vibes of the group were perfect—the whole trip felt like a fairytale.
What did you love most about your stay at the Velas Vallarta Resort?
The staff was so kind and welcoming, and the rooms were amazing! It truly felt like a home, and I loved how comfortable and safe I felt the whole time.
