It all started in 2016 with a girl, a dream, an iPod, and the YouTube app. If someone had told me that would lead to this, I wouldn’t have believed that I would be making those dreams come true.
After posting countless YouTube videos with my brother of every challege, blind bag opening, and haul that we could do, I transitioned into something new by launching my slime business, 'Slimey Seas,' in 2017. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passionate venture, shipping slime all over the United States, accumulating almost 14,000 followers on my Instagram account @_slimeyseas, and selling at events as large as 5,000 people! I’m still on that journey, and I’d love for you to check it out HERE!
Fast forward to 2020, my slime business opened doors to brand collaborations, leading me to start creating content on Instagram and TikTok. I began by partnering with small businesses and boutiques that gave me my start—I'm so grateful for their support. Eventually, I got to work with some of the biggest brands, including Playa Bowls, Oreo, YSL Beauty, Coach, and Coca-Cola, among many others! In 2024, influencing gave me the incredible opportunity to travel to Florida and work with some amazing people! I dream of seeing more of the world some day, with whatever opportunities come my way!
Influencing has also ignited my passion for fashion, allowing me to explore a creative outlet I didn’t even know I wanted. I love posting my outfits to share with the world, expressing my style and connecting with others who appreciate fashion, all while working with some of my favorite clothing brands!
Before all of this, my first love was music and singing. I also play guitar and ukulele, and I love getting to share snippets of my music on my platform. Ever since I was twelve and posted ukulele tutorials on YouTube, I never imagined I’d be sharing snippets with 21,000 people combined across all my platforms. I'd love for you to join me on my musical journey and you can hear some of my performances over the years HERE!
Now, I’m a sophomore at The College of New Jersey, juggling a business, influencing, interning as a social media marketer, working as a marketing assistant, creating content for The School of Business, participating in choir and other clubs, and consistently working out. It’s a lot on my plate, but I work hard to pursue everything I love! Since being born premature at 1 lb 10 oz, I’ve always been a fighter, and that resilient version of myself drives me every day to take every chance that comes my way. I look back on that as my source of motivation, approaching every opportunity with the mindset of “If you never try, you’ll never know,” and I hope to inspire YOU to do the same!
Thank you for reading this far and I hope you'll stay for the journey!
Much l<3ve,
