How did you begin your career?
I started modeling 12 years ago and have been acting for the last 5 years.
How do you hope to inspire people through your social media platform? What can your followers expect to see when visiting your social media page(s)?
I always hope I can inspire people to be themselves, I’ve put so much of myself on the internet through the years and I always try to lead with laughs and smiles. I want people to feel joy.
What do you predict will be the biggest makeup trends this spring?
I feel like natural glowy makeup for the day time and a smokey look at night are the two biggest trends I’ve been seeing.
What was your favorite part about your stay at the Fairmont Kea Lani?
Besides visiting the most beautiful island and hotel, I think the group was perfect. Everyone got along so well and the trip was us authentically having a good time.
Do you have any upcoming travel plans? If so, where?
In the summer I have some travel coming up, but right now I need to stay put for my upcoming movie premier!
What was your favorite Pixi product you tried while in Hawaii?
The Pixi Body Glow Mist combined with the Hawaiian sun!
What’s your go-to airport look? Essentials to pack in a carry on?
I’m always wearing something comfortable to the airport, usually Alo Yoga. As far as my travel bag — I keep everything anyone could possibly need in there just in case! I am the Mary Poppins of travel bags.
Girls night in or Girls night out?
I really love both, but it depends on my mood.
What’s a typical work week like for you? Any advice you have for staying productive throughout the week?
It involves shooting content, meetings on zoom, daily exercise and auditions weekly. Staying productive can be really hard and I’m certainly not the best at it, but the thing that has helped me the most is waking up early. I feel like I have more hours in the day.
What’s your current skincare routine? Any products you’d recommend for our Modeliste readers?
I’m currently doing something called skin cycling which is working wonders. It’s a 4 day cycle: day 1 is a chemical exfoliant and a niacinamide, day 2 is retinol, and day 3 and 4 are hydration. During the day, every day, is vitamin C.
What’s something your followers would be surprised to know about you?
That I go to bed at 8pm.
Where do you gain inspiration for content? Any tips & tricks you’d like to share for those inspiring to have a career like your own?
Pinterest, always! I can scroll there for hours.
What makes you different from other content creators?
I think what makes me different is that I do so many different things. I love film photography, acting, modeling, and creating content.
What would you like to say to your fans/followers?
Go where you are appreciated, loved and celebrated.
