Check Out Hillory Fields’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Hillory Fields.

Hi Hillory, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was raised in a small town in Florida called Arcadia. I come from a very large family who is passionate about community service everything we did in our family was based around the community. I left my small town after I was accepted into Florida A&M university where I graduated with my bachelor of science degree in nursing. I’ve been a nurse for about six years which brought me to the state of California. When I arrived at the state, I worked for a facility that burnt me out as a nurse and was highly understaffed. And so I created an app that allows nurses to review hospitals that they travel to or have been employed in so that nurses can hear from nurses what really goes on in the facility when it comes to the bedside. It felt like something that I was called to do being that I had such a hard time finding reviews for hospitals that I wanted to work for. January 2022 I started my modeling career with sports-illustrated swim and it’s been amazing ever since. I’ve worked with friends like cup she I was flown to the Dominican republic for a Shoot with sports illustrated and modeling and influencing took off for me this year. I have a really great team behind me supporting me with my business and my new endeavors in contact creating an influencing. I plan in 2023 to step more into the role of a hi-fashion model. And give a lot more attention to the second phase of my business.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It honestly has not been a smooth road it’s been a rocky mountain full of lava. I have a great support system behind me who never allow me to fall too deeply into my negative thoughts when it comes to my future. I worked six days a week in the ICU during Covid and it took an extreme toll on my a mental health. I was noticing I was getting anxiety working on the floor. I was even diagnosed with Chronic Uticaria, which is basically breaking out into hives randomly especially during stressful moments. So I am a very Zin person and I’m blessed to have the same type of people surrounded by me.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a model. It is the most amazing job ever. I’m also a Leo so it matches my personality perfectly. I feel like this is something that I was born to do. I love creating things that make people want more from me. I’d have to say I’m the most proud of being a millennial and risking not working as a nurse and becoming a model full-time it has been super stressful; however it is good stress. I believe what sets me apart from others is how confident I am and everything that I do. Confidence is it something that I’ve always had but it’s something that I told myself that I had every day and so I feel like I may be tracked myself into being this confident person. But it sets me apart when I walk in the room. I have a very Zen aura around me and good energy so I love that when I walk into a stuffy room that changes. My skin is also something I get a lot of compliments on when it comes to me being set apart as a model and I’m also a curvey model so a mixture of all of those things I would say sets me apart from others.

If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
CONSISTENCY, Discipline and Accountability. There are a lot of the times where people are saying that they feel very depressed sometimes you’re not depressed because of where you are but because you’re not doing enough of the things that make you feel alive. Every day I try to do something small consistently if I say I’m gonna drink one bottle of water in the morning then I try to make sure that no matter what I’m doing in the morning I make sure that I drink a bottle of water if I say I’m going to create a contact for four different brands and two days then I make sure that I do it because if not then I start to feel anxious and most people don’t understand that most of the time your anxiety is coming from procrastination at least speaking for myself I know that’s the case. So these qualities are something again like the confidence that I had to force it upon myself so that I could be successful.
