How would you describe yourself in three words?
Creative, adventurous, driven.

What inspired you to start creating content or working in the influencer space?
I’ve always loved entertaining people and expressing myself creatively. Social media gave me a way to connect with people all over the world while doing something I genuinely enjoy.

What does a “perfect day” look like for you?
Starting slow with coffee, getting a workout in, creating content I’m excited about, spending time outside, and ending the day with good food and the people I love.

What’s something your followers might be surprised to learn about you?
I’m actually pretty introverted when I’m not filming or around people I’m comfortable with.

What’s been your proudest moment so far, personally or professionally?
Building a career from something I started for fun and being able to turn my creativity into opportunities I never imagined.

How do you usually start your mornings?
Coffee first, always. Then I’ll check my schedule, answer emails, and try to get some movement in before the day gets busy.

What’s your go-to confidence boost when you’re feeling off?
Getting ready, putting on an outfit I love, listening to music, and reminding myself how far I’ve come.

Who or what inspires you the most right now?
People who continue to reinvent themselves and take risks creatively. I love seeing others evolve and push themselves into new chapters.

What’s your favorite way to unwind or reset?
A sunset walk, a good playlist, putting my phone away for a bit, and spending time with the people closest to me.

What’s one goal you’re currently working toward?
Expanding into more long-form content, growing my music, and continuing to build things that feel authentic to me.

How would you describe your personal style in three words?
Effortless, feminine, versatile.

What’s a travel destination that has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Bora Bora. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Being surrounded by crystal-clear water, incredible scenery, and such a peaceful atmosphere really made me slow down, be present, and appreciate the moment. It’s a place that completely takes you out of your normal routine and lets you reset.

What do you look for in friendships or the people you surround yourself with?
Loyalty, honesty, kindness, and people who genuinely want to see each other succeed.

What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that stuck with you?
You don’t have to have everything figured out to move forward. Taking action is usually better than waiting for the perfect moment.

What’s your current favorite song, show, or obsession?
Right now I’m obsessed with finding new music and building playlists for every mood. I’m always looking for artists and songs that make me feel something.

What does success mean to you right now in this season of life?
Having balance. Being proud of what I’m creating while still making time for the people and experiences that matter most.

What’s something you’re still learning about yourself?
How important it is for me to slow down and recharge instead of always feeling like I need to be productive.

If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Stop worrying so much about what other people think. Most of the things you stress about won’t matter a year from now.

What’s next for you? Anything you’re especially excited about?
I’m excited for a lot of new projects, more travel, and continuing to explore different creative outlets. I love stepping into new challenges and seeing where they take me.

What did you love most about your stay at Sun Gardens Dubrovnik, Croatia?
The location was incredible. Being right on the Adriatic Sea, waking up to those views every morning, and having everything from amazing restaurants to relaxing waterfront spots all in one place made it such a memorable experience. It felt like the perfect balance of luxury, relaxation, and adventure.
