Tell us about yourself!
I’m a Canadian living in New York working as a content creator and making the most of everything the city has to offer.
Describe yourself in three words.
Curious, Determined and Relaxed.
What can people expect to see from your social media platforms?
My daily outfits, skincare and beauty routine, and my life in New York city – from where I go out, favorite restaurants and cafes, to my little apartment in downtown Manhattan. I’m big on less is more and I think this shines through all of my content, especially when it comes to beauty and fashion.
What’s something people would be surprised to know about you?
I was the biggest tomboy growing up.
What’s a goal in your career you hope to accomplish?
To contribute to the improvement of the fashion industry and its impact on the planet. My goal is to help influence slow fashion, a cyclical industry, and to partner with and promote ethically sustainable brands.
What and who inspires you most? Why?
I think I’m inspired most by the good will of others. There’s nothing more motivating than seeing other people achieve great things and accomplish change.
As an influencer, how do you hope to influence people through your platform?
I think anyone who has a voice and the ability to reach a population of people should use this positively.
Who are your favorite content creators?
I love Lauryn Bosstick! I learn a LOT from her platforms. She does an incredible job of owning who she is and bringing her community together!
Are you working on any exciting projects you can share?
I can’t share too much, but yes! Modeling was my first love so I’m really excited to be coming back to that more full time!
I am also working on many new things in categories of the industry I have not explored yet, and will finally be able to share a little bit about one of the businesses I have been working on over the past two years!
What are three items in your closet you cannot live without?
Comfortable jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and sneakers.
Essential product in your beauty routine?
SPF!!!
What was your favorite part of staying at Garza Blanca Cancun? What activities would you recommend for someone looking to visit?
The people who worked for the resort were incredible. They went over and above to make sure we enjoyed our stay, but more than this they were genuinely kind.
What are you looking forward to most in 2022?
Honestly, I’m just hoping the year gets easier for everyone.
