How would you describe yourself in three words?
Solar, loving and characterful.
Can you share the moment in time where you made your career as an influencer a full time job?
I was studying to be a school teacher and I started on the networks. I loved what I was doing and I found my passion, my voice. Since then I work every day and I’m happy with my work! It was an incredible feeling, and I was finally satisfied with my life… especially when I didn’t even have time for anything anymore, haha! I knew it was work!
What are the biggest challenges you face as a content creator and how do you overcome them?
I have to satisfy the people who follow us and also the brands!! I also have to be very creative. It’s a constant challenge and it’s very important because we have to constantly renew ourselves.
Who inspires you and why?
Angelina Jolie, for her accomplishments, particularly with regard to humanitarian missions.
What’s something people would be surprised to know about you?
To know that I am very sensitive!!! And boring, hahaha!
Something you’re looking forward to most this Fall/Winter?
This fall I am waiting for the apartment of my dreams in Paris, haha, or in the United States.
What’s an item you cannot travel without? What advice do you have for getting prepared for a long travel day?
I can’t travel without my sleep mask, haha! At least everywhere I go, I can sleep in the dark! My advice is: to be in a comfortable outfit above all, headphones, and positivity!
Favorite place you’ve traveled and why?
It’s Mauritius because it was my mom’s dream trip and I took her there! And, sharing that with your mom, there is nothing more beautiful!
What’s at the top of your bucket list?
Live for a while in the USA, and why not?!
Your content is amazing! Can you take us behind the scenes of what a day in your life looks like and where/how you draw inspiration for content?
Thank you very much! Ahah, it’s an intense day but I face it with positivity because I love what I do, I get inspired by everything I can
see through the networks, TV, magazines!
But I always try to bring a touch of “Jade” to show my personality.
What’s a Fall staple in your closet you cannot live without?
The trench of course! It finishes an outfit and it goes with everything! haha
How do you hope to influence people through your social media platforms?
I just hope to be myself and that people follow me for my personality. I also only offer what looks like me, so I hope to influence them in a sincere and genuine way.
What advice do you have for an aspiring influencer?
You must express what you are, and try to be yourself and it will come! Also, take the time to do things, to think in order to create content that is not like everyone else.
Any special projects you’re working on?
Not yet but I have a lot of things in mind that I hope will come true!
What was your favorite part of your stay at Sun Gardens Dubrovnik?
It was the whole stay completely! What I also liked was the meetings with all the girls. The hotel and the bath was just amazing!
