How would you describe yourself in three words?
Genuine, adventurous, and adaptable.

What inspired you to start creating content or working in the influencer space?
I wanted something different than the norm. I started social media when I was about 11 years old with the mindset of creating change and making sure my family and I would have the opportunity to live our lives to their fullest potential.

What does a “perfect day” look like for you?
Either traveling with my friends, family, and boyfriend or simply relaxing at home by the pool with good music and plenty of sunshine.

What’s something your followers might be surprised to learn about you?
While I’ve always loved social media, I’ve also always aspired to become an established actor.

What’s been your proudest moment so far, personally or professionally?
Professionally, I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come in this industry and all of the exciting opportunities that continue to come my way. Personally, I’m very proud of the friendships I have in my life today. I truly feel like the luckiest girl alive.

How do you usually start your mornings?
A full skincare routine and a good scroll through Instagram Reels—haha!

What’s your go-to confidence boost when you’re feeling off?
Taking time for myself and recentering. Whether it’s stepping away from my phone or making time for hobbies I enjoy, it always helps. Usually, if my confidence is low, social media is part of the reason, so a little distance can be the best medicine.

Who or what inspires you the most right now?
My boyfriend, Abraham. I adore everything he does for himself and for others. He’s such a positive person and never fails to inspire me.

What’s your favorite way to unwind or reset?
Laying on my couch with a Diet Coke and binge-watching a TV series.

What’s one goal you’re currently working toward?
Right now, I’m focused on the two films I worked on that are being released after filming in 2025.

How would you describe your personal style in three words?
Trend-forward, whimsical, and playful.

What’s a travel destination that has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Mauritius had the biggest impact on me. I traveled there to film a movie and arrived not knowing anyone. By the time I left, I had formed friendships that I know will last forever. It was truly a life-changing experience.

What do you look for in friendships or the people you surround yourself with?
Loyalty, authenticity, good communication, and support. Those are the qualities I value most in the people around me, and I hope I offer those same qualities in return.

What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that stuck with you?
Positivity isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the most important thing is being authentic and allowing yourself to feel what’s real.

What’s your current favorite song, show, or obsession?
My current favorite song is “Ache” by Not For Radio.

What does success mean to you right now in this season of life?
Success means creating opportunities that I’m proud of, continuing to grow creatively, and having the freedom to live life on my own terms while making a positive impact on others—especially the people closest to me.

What’s something you’re still learning about yourself?
How to be fully happy with how I look and feel all the time.

If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
There will always be obstacles in life, and however you overcome them is the right way. Everything happens for a reason, and with time, things unfold exactly as they’re meant to.

What’s next for you? Anything you’re especially excited about?
My clothing line just launched, which is incredibly exciting, so definitely keep an eye out for that! I also have several exciting projects filming this year and a possible movie release later on.

What did you love most about your stay at Sun Gardens Dubrovnik, Croatia?
I loved that no matter where you stood in Dubrovnik, there was a beautiful view. The locals were also unbelievably kind to us throughout the trip. I left feeling like I had made lifelong friends and now have people to visit whenever I return to Croatia.
