Biggest success of 2017: “One of my goals last year was to start collabing with other creators. Looking back on this year, I have done so many awesome collabs.”

Goals for 2018: “I really want to get into more scripted jobs and hopefully have a line of my own.”

Her biggest fail and how she overcame it: “I was trying out having my own app for a few months, that is the only ‘fail’ I can think of. I learned about what my viewers want and what I want as well. I am thankful for the experience.”

Favorite rising star right now: “The singer Bazzi. I am obsessed with his EP and know he will be huge this year.”

Best advice for someone looking to succeed in the social media space: “It’s a lot harder than it looks, everyone’s life looks perfect but its very different on the other side of it. There are no days off.”
