Has it been a smooth road?
When I was on the road towards working on my Olympic gymnastics dream, I was faced with one of the most important obstacles in my life. I was competing in a national competition and getting ready to do my vault. I had my coach set the board and I waved my hand to salute to the judge. I ran down the runway to perform my skill and as soon as I was flipping through the air, I knew something wasn’t right. Mid-air, I was just thinking of how I was going to try and land on my feet after not getting as much height as I usually get. I landed very low on my landing and shattered seven bones in my ankle as well as tearing several ligaments. This was the first time that I felt the feeling of hopelessness. I am so used to telling myself to get up and just shake it off, but this time was different. I could not stand up and physically needed to rely on the help of others to get up. It was my first ever injury and also my worst injury I’ve had ever.
I decided to turn this negative experience into a positive moment. I had always known that I had wanted to pursue acting, modeling, and social media after my gymnastics career but I was so focused on gymnastics and it was my life. At the moment of my injury, I was faced with the decision to either get surgery or take this as a sign from God telling me to move to LA and pursue my other dreams. I firmly believe that if I had not gotten injured that I would still be in my comfort zone of competing as a gymnast and would still be in Michigan. This is why I say that this injury was the worst and best moment of my life. It truly made me stronger and made me who I am today. I truly try to tell everyone that even your worst moments don’t have to be the worst. It is all how you look at things and realize that maybe it’s the universe pushing you in the right direction that may seem out of your comfort zone, but it is necessary to grow. I don’t regret getting injured. I am actually grateful for it, and it has allowed me to pursue many of my dreams. It has shown me that I can overcome anything.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I specialize in content creation, acting, and modeling. The entertainment industry is my life. Creating content across multiple social media platforms with the overall objective of making my fans and viewers smile everyday is why I do what I do. I want to spread the message of positivity and that chasing your dreams is something that everyone should do. Nothing is impossible and never give up. Especially I feel that my story of how I have become the person I am today really shows that even when life gets tough, keep pushing through and everything will work out.
What sets my content apart is not only my physical gymnastics ability but my overall energy you feel just from watching my videos. I believe that by taking trends and adding my own twist to them is what helps make content go viral. Everyone has a unique talent, quality, or characteristic that can be used to help set your content/craft apart from the rest.
My proudest moment has just been the overall success that I have had in both the acting and social media industry. I have managed to break into both areas of the entertainment industry through hard work and learning from every experience.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love that the city of Los Angeles has so many opportunities for any dream that anyone wants to pursue. There is a place for everyone in Los Angeles and so many diverse groups of people as well. Los Angeles has taught me many lessons and I have been able to find many others with similar interests in my life. I have made lifelong friendships that I know will always support me when times get tough. They are my family away from family. I am not only able to make my dreams of working in the entertainment industry come true everyday, but I am also being pushed to be the best version of myself I can be.
LA is full of everyone that was the top athlete, valedictorian of their class, or the highest job title of their hometown all in one place. So having this competition and people surrounding me daily pushes me to be the best I can be and to work even harder. What I like least about Los Angeles is that there is also the struggle of trying to become your best self by comparing to others. Especially in the social media world and entertainment industry as a whole, it is easy to get stuck in comparing your image/success to those around you. Having confidence in yourself and knowing your worth as a human being is the key to staying strong mentally.
