It was such an honour to write this piece. I’m so happy it’s FINALLY out. Shout out to @thirth, @kaibraden, @_yumi_nu and @fiffanyluu for being so vulnerable and sharing their stories with me. I very much realize that being a model is a job that comes with so much privilege. But, that sometimes makes us forget that there is real racism, sexism, exploitation etc that exists in our industry. We are workers and deserve the same protections and rights as any other worker. @modelallianceny taught me that. Please read my article to learn more and thank you for all of the support this has already received ♥️

I love going back to @mcmasteru to speak at the @degrootewomen Empower Conference! This is the third time I’ve been invited to speak, and it brings me so much joy to return to campus. I love connecting with university students about the ups and downs of career transitions and normalizing non-linear career paths. It’s so easy to get caught up in post-grad timelines, but the truth is, those timelines are completely made up. There’s no single path to success, and the pressure to have it all figured out right away is unrealistic. I always say that even if you don’t know exactly what you want to do, as long as you’re working towards something—or even just exploring—you’re on the right track. There’s so much value in that exploration and so much to learn from the mistakes you’ll inevitably make along the way. What matters most is seeing failure as feedback, not a setback. I’ve had incredible peaks in my career across modeling, journalism, and tech, and now I find myself in a phase of exploration again. As stressful as it can be, I’m trying to embrace it as part of the journey; something to be curious and excited about rather than fear. I also recognize the privilege in this; I have what I need to survive and provide for myself, which gives me the space to focus on the ‘thrive’ part. I’m lucky to have the time and resources to figure out what makes me happy and financially stable, knowing that many people are still in survival mode and don’t have the luxury of exploring their next steps. Navigating this job market isn’t easy, and I can only imagine how overwhelming it must feel for students stepping into it. I hope I was able to offer a fresh perspective and some tangible advice on building a career that’s both fulfilling and financially sustainable.

Had the best time speaking at my alma mater yesterday for the third year in a row - it’s always nostalgic and the conversation is always top tier. Thanks again for having me @degrootewomen @mcmasteru ♥️

FAQ: how did I go from journalism to tech? I get asked this a lot so I thought I’d answer! Have you made a career transition? How’d you manage it?
