I started my company, Hello Perfect in June 2011. Hello Perfect is a community of people working to redefine perfection and inspire others to accomplish their dreams!

I graduated from the University of Florida in May 2013 and moved to NYC a week later to begin working at InStyle Magazine in the marketing department. I started my first company when I was 18 years old and founded Hello Perfect in June 2011.

What inspired me to start Hello Perfect were my personal experiences of growing up and trying to attain an unrealistic perfection. I realized that trying to be someone i'm not was only holding me back from accomplishing my dreams. I didn't want something so meaningless stop me from doing what is so meaningful, so I created a community to help me and others realize their own true perfection.

I am continuing to grow Hello Perfect into a world-wide movement  by speaking to young adults and teens about self-image and confidence as well as continuing to grow the community online and offline through events and workshops.
