How would you describe yourself in three words?
Intentional, creative, and ever-evolving—I’m always stepping into a new version of myself.
What’s something people would be surprised to learn about you?
Despite being so outward-facing with my work, I’m naturally introverted. I really value my alone time—it’s where I reset, reflect, and feel most grounded.
Your ultimate morning routine, no matter where you are?
I’m very intentional about my mornings. I love starting slow—iced coffee, natural light, getting ready without rushing, and staying off my phone for a little while so I can ease into the day with a clear mind.
The one beauty product you swear by?
My Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lip combo. It’s effortless, timeless, and instantly pulls everything together.
Signature scent or fragrance you’re loving right now?
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540. It’s warm, slightly sweet, and leaves a lasting impression without ever feeling overpowering.
A piece in your wardrobe you’ll never part with?
A perfectly oversized hoodie. It’s equal parts comfort and identity—it always feels like me.
Who or what inspires your style the most?
I’m constantly inspired by the effortless aesthetic of Pinterest fashion girls—the way everything feels curated but still natural. Music also plays a huge role in how I dress; I tend to embody whatever mood I’m listening to.
Your current skincare philosophy in one sentence?
Consistency over excess—keeping it simple and letting your skin breathe.
How do you reset and recharge when life gets busy?
I take a step back and simplify everything. Spending time at home, unplugging, romanticizing small routines, or being near the ocean always brings me back to center.
A song that feels like your personal anthem right now?
“20 Cigarettes” by Morgan Wallen—it has that introspective, late-night energy I always come back to.
Your dream destination you haven’t visited yet?
The Maldives. I’m drawn to places that feel serene and cinematic—somewhere you can fully disconnect and just exist in the moment.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
A completely unstructured day—starting slow, getting coffee, maybe a beach walk, and letting the day naturally unfold, whether that ends with friends or a quiet night in.
What does confidence mean to you?
Confidence is being grounded in who you are—moving through life without constantly seeking validation and trusting your own direction.
A recent moment that made you feel proud of yourself?
Booking multiple auditions recently has been really meaningful for me. It feels like a reflection of the work I’ve been putting in behind the scenes finally coming to life.
One thing you’ve learned about yourself over the past year?
That growth doesn’t require perfection. I’ve learned to trust that even when things feel uncertain, I’m still exactly where I need to be.
Your favorite way to capture content that feels authentic to you?
The in-between moments—the ones that aren’t overly planned or posed. That’s where the real emotion lives.
How would you describe your personal brand in a sentence?
Effortless with an edge—rooted in authenticity, emotion, and a sense of quiet confidence.
What kind of impact do you hope to have on your audience?
I want people to feel seen, inspired, and comfortable in their individuality—to realize they don’t have to fit into anything to be enough.
What’s next for you? Anything you’re especially excited about?
I’m really focused on leaning deeper into my creative direction—especially with music and storytelling—and building something that feels completely my own
What did you love most about your stay at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa?
Omni La Costa Resort & Spa felt like a true escape. The balance of luxury and tranquility made it easy to fully slow down—from the spa to the overall atmosphere, it was the kind of reset you don’t realize you need until you’re there.
