Tell us about how you got your start as a lifestyle content creator and influencer.
I got started a year and a half ago on TikTok. I was just posting for fun and I posted a dance video and a tutorial with a claw clip. They both just went viral! That’s kind of where my following originally came from which is so crazy for me. At the time I didn’t even realize you could turn social media into a career. I knew I loved it and it was so fun to share these products. From there I kept showing products and reviewing things and I just kept growing. I think I really took off with the advent series, which is where I review a bunch of advent calendars.

Talk to us about your content and what people can expect when visiting your social channels.
I feel like a lot of reviews! I love to review products. I also showcase health and fitness content. I am very into a healthy balanced lifestyle, so I show a lot of my fitness journey. I also share recipes, home decor, etc. I would say that’s sort of like the main type of content people can expect to see when visiting my social channels.
You have a ton of notable partnerships but you recently collaborated on your own activewear line with ACTA. Talk to us all about this collab!
This was my first collab that I’ve ever done and ACTA was so great to work with! It was like a year process that started last year when they reached out and wanted to do an activewear line. I’m a little bit picky and wanted to make it super wearable – it was important to me that the pieces were supportive, not see-through, etc. ACTA let me be super picky and it was very fun. A lot of my following was from activewear hauls so to make an activewear line that was true to me was so special. It meant the entire world. On launch day it was crazy to me that people were buying and supporting it. I was in tears all day! It meant the whole world.
Beyond social media, what do you love to do?
I am a mom so I spend a lot of time with my toddler. I like to keep him private but I spend a lot of time with him and my family- I’m a big family girl. I am also really big into working out, health, and lifestyle. At the moment, I am really big into running and training.

You are passionate about childhood cancer research. Talk to us about the importance of his cause and what it means to you.
I am a very big advocate when it comes to spreading awareness about donating to childhood cancer research. I mentioned on my platform earlier this year that one of my very close friend’s babies was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma cancer, which is a very rare child cancer. Especially high-risk, it’s even more rare. Childhood cancer is very underfunded. The majority of all cancer research funds go to adult cancer research. When my friend’s baby got diagnosed, it became obvious just how big of an issue it was. It is really underfunded in trying to fix the issue and address the problem. I became passionate about it after seeing what she went through with her baby. I am a big advocate when it comes to donating to childhood cancer research. I hope to make people more aware of it because it is so rare and you don’t hear about it a ton. I am doing what I can and sharing enough of my friend’s story to reach those people who are interested in learning more and looking to pitch in and help.
What’s next for you in 2024?
I have some very exciting collaborations coming up in the next year! I think it’s just going to be about growing in that way- growing into the business world. There are some exciting things on the way, for sure!
