When did you decide to become an influencer?

I prefer to call myself a "creator" because often if you say "influencer" people with prejudices begin to judge for no reason ... Having said that, I never decided, it happened gradually over time and I would say naturally because I have always had the passion editing, videos and photos that testify memories or events of my daily life ... the difference is that now there are many people interested in watching these videos and photos and this pushes me to continue.

What are the difficulties you have encountered in your journey on social media?

The difficulties I encountered in this path, excluding the social algorithms that change very often by making videos and posts "flop" and thus frustrating the effort to have them created and edited, were mainly the extremely controversial criticisms and comments of the so-called "haters" - sometimes not only from "unknown" and anonymous people, but also from people of my village -, but it happens to everyone so after a few months I started not giving it any more weight and no longer feeling bad and moving forward for people who loved me.

What was your biggest satisfaction as an influencer?

Linking to the end of the previous answer, my greatest satisfaction is having found hundreds and hundreds of girls who really love me and show me affection every day, are interested in what happens to me and how I am and always let me know how much I make them happy in a 'no' moment even if only through a 15 second video without a specific purpose. I love them. In addition to them, other satisfactions have certainly come with collaborations with brands that I have always loved and with the publication of articles about me like the present or like that of Webboh.it

What are your hobbies and interests?

I have never been a fan of any sport or activity in a particular way, my hobbies and interests are actually very simple and I would summarize them like this: gym, selfcare, social. In fact, I spend most of my time focusing on these things, as well as studying, my family, my boyfriend and friendships.

How does your typical day go?

My typical day until a few days ago, before the holidays was like this: breakfast, work in the morning, lunch, live streaming on tiktok, content creation for tiktok or instagram, gym, dinner, time with family / boyfriend / friends. In a month or so I'll go back to the books so the study will arrive.

What is the meaning of your tattoo on the left forearm?

The tattoo on the left forearm is what all the girls who follow me like the most and in general it is the one that catches the eye when you look at me as it is the largest I have. It was the first tattoo I did, when I was sixteen, and I do not regret it at all because in addition to the design that I love aesthetically, it has an important meaning. This is made up of 7 swallows; 7 as my always lucky number and 7 as the most important "people" in my life. The first swallows are two larger ones dedicated to my parents and a smaller one dedicated to myself.

Two more are dedicated to my two grandmothers. Another to my cousin, who is like a sister to me. And finally the last one is dedicated to my dog ​​(and for this reason in the introduction of the list I put "people" ahaha)

A piece of advice you give to your fans

The advice I most often give to my girls who follow me is not to give a damn about people's criticism as I have come to the conclusion that people will talk, always, whatever you do and in any way you do it so if you want to do something ( such as taking a path on social media or if you want to dress or dye your hair in a certain way, etc.) you just have to do it if that's what makes us happy.

Plans for the future?

My plans for the future are to continue studying and then do a job that makes me feel 100% fulfilled, to form my own family, and to further solidify the relationship with my friends and the girls who follow me. I am very happy in this moment and I just hope that the future can be more beautiful than the present already is.
