Tell us a little about yourself and how you would describe your personal brand in three words?
I’m 23 years old, born and raised in Amsterdam, and I’m ethnically Persian. I moved to LA at the age of 10 and I’m currently a student at UCLA. I work as a beauty content creator, and I love beauty, fashion, and travel. I enjoy sharing those passions through my content.
Three words I would use to describe my personal brand are elegant, ambitious, and authentic.
What are three things that have shaped the person you are today?
I’d say the three things that have shaped me the most are growing up in Amsterdam, the people and experiences I’ve had throughout my life, and learning to become more confident in myself. Each of those has taught me something different and helped shape the person I am today.
What is your favorite way to unwind and recharge?
Taking time for myself is my favorite way to recharge. I love doing my skincare, listening to music, ordering my favorite food, and watching a good show or movie.
What values are most important to you, both personally and professionally?
Authenticity, kindness, honesty, and consistency. I think people connect most with those who stay true to themselves, and I try to carry those values into everything I do.
What does your perfect day off look like from start to finish?
My perfect day starts with a hot Pilates class, then grabbing a coffee or matcha before spending the day creating content. I’d end it by having dinner with my family or close friends and finishing the night with a good movie.
What are you most passionate about outside of your career and social media?
Outside of work, I’m happiest when I’m traveling. I also love trying new beauty products. Spending time with my family is really important to me, and I think those moments help keep me grounded.
What is a challenge you’ve overcome that has made you stronger?
Learning to believe in myself has probably been the biggest challenge I’ve overcome. Building confidence didn’t happen overnight; it took time and a lot of stepping outside my comfort zone. Believing in myself has opened the door to experiences I might have missed if I had let fear hold me back.
Who are some of the women that inspire you and why?
My mom has always been my biggest inspiration. She’s shown me what strength, resilience, and kindness look like, and she’s always encouraged me to work hard while staying true to myself.
What is one piece of advice that has had a lasting impact on your life?
Comparison is the fastest way to lose sight of your own journey. Everyone has a different path, and once I stopped comparing myself to others, I became much more confident in pursuing my own goals.
How would you describe your personal style, and where do you find fashion inspiration?
I’d describe my style as classy, feminine, and timeless. I love clean, simple looks that never really go out of style, but I also like incorporating trends in a way that still feels like me. I get a lot of inspiration from people like Hailey Bieber and Madison Beer.
What are some daily habits or routines that help you feel your best?
Prioritizing my skincare, staying active, drinking plenty of water, and taking time to plan my day. I’ve learned that it’s the little habits you stay consistent with that make the biggest difference.
What is one experience that changed your perspective on life?
Building confidence in myself has completely changed my perspective on life. I used to care a lot about what other people thought, but over time I’ve learned to trust myself more and stop letting fear hold me back.
If you could visit anywhere in the world next, where would it be and why?
I’d love to visit Japan. I’ve always been fascinated by the culture, the food, and the mix of tradition and modern life.
What is a dream or goal you hope to accomplish in the next five years?
In the next five years, I hope to finish school, build a successful business of my own, continue growing my platform, and work with my favorite brands.
What is something your followers would be surprised to learn about you?
A lot of people are surprised to learn that I speak three languages: English, Dutch, and Farsi. Growing up with different cultures has been one of the biggest blessings in my life.
What does "success" mean to you at this stage of your life?
Success means building a life that feels fulfilling, not just impressive. It’s about creating meaningful opportunities, continuing to grow, and being proud of the person I’m becoming.
If you could be remembered for one thing, what would you want your legacy to be?
I’d like to be remembered as someone who stayed true to herself no matter where life took her. If I could inspire people to be more confident in themselves while staying kind and genuine, that would mean a lot to me.
What is your favorite song right now?
“Past Life” by Ariana Grande.
What upcoming projects, collaborations, launches, or exciting news would you like to share with our readers?
I’m excited to keep growing my career across beauty, modeling, and social media and eventually create my own business out of it.
Looking back on your time at Hotel Mousai Cancun, what was the highlight of your experience, and what made it so memorable?
My favorite part of my stay at Hotel Mousai Cancun was getting to experience both adventure and relaxation in one trip. Snorkeling and zip-lining were definitely the highlights, but I also loved how peaceful and beautiful the resort was. It was the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation, and I left with so many unforgettable memories.
