How did you begin your career?
I began my career by posting a TikTok duetting a boy from my school and making fun of me and that tiktok blew up! As a result of that I was scouted to Model and that’s where my social media & modeling career began!

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 hope to inspire people to be authentically themselves! You might look at my Instagram and think oh – this is just a stereotypical model in LA but once you look closer and read my captions or view my story, you’re able to see a little bit of my personality like the fact that I love Hamilton, or the fact that I am always reading! It’s just nice to give people a little glimpse into who you actually are as a person.

What do you predict will be the biggest makeup trends this fall?
I think the biggest makeup trends for this fall will be a darker, more moody lip with a clean and fresh face! I honestly just hope it’s something easy that I will be able to figure out how to do.

What was your favorite part about your stay at The Conrad Punta de Mita?
This is such a hard question! There were so many things I absolutely adored, my favorite was definitely all the different dining options. Every night we ate at a new restaurant. I was blown away by the food and service.

Do you have any upcoming travel plans? If so, where?
As of now I do not have any exciting upcoming travel plans, although I just turned 21 and I would love to go to Vegas soon!

What was your favorite thing about Punta Mita?
My favorite thing about Punta Mita was just how vibrant it is. Waking up every day looking at the beautiful blue ocean in the stunning colors of the flowers was just spectacular.

What's your go-to airport look? Essentials to pack in a carry on?
I wish I could say I might go-to airport look is glamorous and chic, but it’s not. I always have big, baggy, giant sweatpants and a hoodie on and I cannot fly anywhere without my UGG slippers!

Girls night in or Girls night out?
100% girls night out! I love when all of my girlfriends get together and go to dinner, and maybe a party afterwards.

What's a typical work week like for you? Any advice you have for staying productive throughout the week?
My typical work week is a week of uncertainty! As a model you never really know your schedule so the thing I try to do is just stay on top of everything. Always making sure I get my workouts in, doing weekly facemasks, and making sure my nails are always done!

What's your current skincare routine? Any products you'd recommend for our Modeliste readers?
My current skin routine it’s just a hydrating moisturizer and a simple toner. The one thing I would tell my viewers is that less is more!

What's something your followers would be surprised to know about you?
One thing my viewers would be surprised to know about me is that I am a vegetarian! I have been a vegetarian for a few years now and I am not planning to go back to eating meat anytime soon!

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?
I gain inspiration for content by just scrolling through Pinterest and TikTok, and seeing what trends I resonate with, and can relate to! I would say my biggest step for a career like mine is just to never give up! As a Model, I have heard so many no’s it can feel discouraging at times, but you really just have to believe in yourself, and be confident!

How do you stay true to yourself?
One way I stay true to myself is journaling, it is a new habit I have picked up on. Journaling at the end of the day just really helps me get out all my thoughts and my energy and it’s really fun to look back on your past journal entries from a few months ago and just see how much you have changed as a person.

What would you like to say to your fans/followers?
I would like to say thank you for everything it means so much and I appreciate every single one of you!
