Describe your WFH outfitย
A fun crewneck or sweatshirt! Always paired with my cozy sweatpants or a trusty pair of leggings. Comfort is key!ย
Why did you decide to pursue a career in this field?ย
I always knew I wanted to write since writing my first ever short story in Grade 2. An avid reader and writer growing up, it was important to me to work in a field where Iโd be able to grow my writing skills and showcase my creativity.
Working at Luxy has given me this amazing opportunity to think outside the box, and to challenge myself to create bigger and better things with every new project.ย

Always obsessed with @xosaraโs hair. She always thinks a little bit out of the box, and always adds a fresh twist to modern trends.ย

Popcorn, always. Itโs the one snack that Iโm always in the mood for, and it always hits the spot.ย
Describe your self-care routineย

Which social platform is your favorite and who do you enjoy following the most and why?ย
Definitely TikTok. Itโs the place where you can get a little bit of everything. A great laugh, helpful tips/hacks and lots of product recommendations! Some of my favorite creators are @mary_skinner, @iconicakes & @oldloserinbrooklynย
What was the last book that you read that made a huge impact on your life?
I think that everyone should read The Defining Decade by Meg Jay at least once in their life. It has some amazing nuggets of wisdom, especially for people in their teens and twenties. Life is a journey of growth, so itโs so important to practice patience and kindness with yourself!ย
What is your daily mantra or words to live by?ย
One of my favorite quotes is: โGreatness is not your destiny, but rather, a decision that you make.โ Itโs an amazing reminder to work hard towards your goals, and to not be discouraged by any obstacle in your path.
