She answers the following questions:


  1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead? Or technically, as a strawberry blonde? Do you consider yourself a redhead?
  2. You grew up in the Florida Keys which is sun central. We know you recently had a skin cancer scare on your forehead! You had MOHS surgery to scrape it out in December.
  3. Were you constantly sunburned growing up or did your sunscreen game start early?
  4. On TikTok, you show photos of your hair journey from high school to the present day. What look makes you feel like yourself the most? 
  5. We loved the TikTok you did last year when the blonde brow trend was all the range. How do you feel about your brows?
  6. We love your GRWM videos! Your “glam” is minimal and we absolutely love it. We know you’ve talked about ginger mascara. What are your must-have makeup products? 
  7. We love your relationship with your mom (who you call “Pee”). What would she say to someone who wants to raise a confident daughter like you?
