How would you describe yourself in three words?
Chill, generous, & hard working.
Can you share the moment in time where you made your career as an influencer a full time job?
I actually started focusing more on influencing/content creation during quarantine. I had a lot of free time and found a new love for producing my own content.
What are the biggest challenges you face as a content creator and how do you overcome them?
One of the biggest challenges would have to be meeting each brand’s requirements and capturing each of the aesthetics, while also creating unique and authentic content that’s true to myself.
Who inspires you and why?
Other creators/models inspire me! Even some of my friends inspire me.
What’s something people would be surprised to know about you?
That I grew up a hardcore basketball player. Most people assume I was a cheerleader!
Something you’re looking forward to most this Fall/Winter?
MLB World Series!!!
What’s an item you cannot travel without? What advice do you have for getting prepared for a long travel day?
Headphones! Traveling can be chaotic so being able to throw your headphones on and block out all the noise makes any travel experience more enjoyable.
Favorite place you’ve traveled and why?
Cape Town, South Africa will always have a special place in my heart. It was my first major trip traveling alone for work and I lived there for five months. One of the most beautiful places in the world!
What’s at the top of your bucket list?
Italy! Would love to tour the whole country. Has always been a dream of mine.
Your content is amazing! Can you take us behind the scenes of what a day in your life looks like and where/how you draw inspiration for content?
I usually start my mornings off answering emails, editing, and start doing content in the afternoon! I find so much inspiration just from the creators I follow on Instagram. I have a collection of inspo photos/videos I look at everyday!
What’s a Fall staple in your closet you cannot live without?
An oversized blazer!
How do you hope to influence people through your social media platforms?
Honestly, I’ve always hoped to inspire other girls/women who are interested in this industry. Especially those coming from small towns. Because I understand how difficult it can be to start pursuing something that’s so different than the norm.
What advice do you have for an aspiring influencer?
Go for it! Take inspiration from other creators and make it your own. Think about what style you want to go for, then start creating!
Any special projects you’re working on?
Nothing I can share at the moment;)
What was your favorite part of your stay at Sun Gardens Dubrovnik?
Waking up to that gorgeous view every morning. Plus the breakfast & room service was delicious!
