What inspired you to start your journey as an influencer and model?
During Covid I wanted to be a happy, fun light for people during a hard time. What started as creating videos for fun became a full-time passion once I realized how powerful connection through content could be. I wanted to be seen — and to make others feel seen, too.

What's a beauty or fashion trend you're currently obsessed with? 
I’m living for elevated minimalism — clean fits, silver accessories, glowing skin, and a bold fragrance. Effortless but intentional.

What's something you always bring on every trip, no matter what?
SPF, skincare, and a travel-sized essential oil — I like my space to smell like peace.

What's one thing social media doesn't show about your real life?
How much work happens behind the scenes. From filming, editing, pitching, negotiating, and still trying to stay grounded — it’s not just vibes and palm trees, but I make it look that way.

What's a moment you felt truly proud of yourself?
Hitting my first million followers — but more importantly, doing it my way. Authenticity got me here.

In three words, how would you describe your current chapter?
Rebuilding. Glowing. Growth.

What's a moment in your career that made you stop and think, "Wow, this is real"?
When I was stopped and rushed by fans at the airport. The amount of love and support is why I continue to do what I do. It’s bigger than content — it’s impact, and the love I have for each and every one of the people who support me.

What's a piece of advice that changed your life?
“Don’t dim your light to make others comfortable.” It taught me to own my space fully.

Who do you look to for creative inspiration?
I take bits from everything — cinema, runway shows, cultural travel — but honestly? Women. Their power, presence, and grace inspire me endlessly.

What's a place that always inspires you?
The ocean — anywhere in the world. I could watch the waves for hours. It reminds me how vast life is, how small I am in the best way, and how limitless my dreams can be.

What's one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?
I’m actually super introverted and stay home way more than people think. I love people, but I recharge in silence quite a bit.

How would your best friend describe you in three words?
Driven, hilarious, loyal.

If you could relive one moment, just to feel it again, what would it be?
Watching the sunset in the Caribbean with no WiFi and no rush. Just peace and nowhere to be.

What's a movie you know every line to?
The Devil Wears Prada. Fashion, ambition, a little drama — basically my origin story.

What would you title your memoir—if you wrote one tomorrow?
Diamonds Designed Under Pressure: Becoming Me.

What's something you're manifesting right now?
Global brand deals, my face on billboards coast to coast, and a love that amplifies my light — not dims it.

What's next for you?
I’m stepping deeper into YouTube storytelling, exploring TV opportunities, and building something exciting in the wellness space. I’d love to expand further into modeling and brand partnerships that align with my vision — it’s all about creating moments that open new doors. There might even be a little international soft-life series on the horizon. Stay tuned — this next chapter is about elevation.

What was your favorite part of Modeliste's Belize Getaway?
The energy. Everyone came to serve — but also to connect. There was so much love, beauty, and creativity in one place.

What did you love most about Jaguar Reef and The Banks resorts?
The aesthetic was dreamy — beachfront bliss meets luxury jungle. But the staff? Top tier. They made it feel like home.

What do you love most about Modeliste Magazine?
It’s bold, fashion-forward, and unapologetically global. They celebrate creators in a way that feels authentic and elevated.
