In Summertime

PEOPLE / April 23, 2024



The last time we spoke, you were working as a Junior Producer, and now you’re an Account Manager. If you weren’t in this line of work, what else do you think you’d like to pursue?

I would love to be a dog sitter or just be around dogs all the time!

If not, then anything else that’s creative, really. Like professionally dressing Barbie dolls—I’ve heard that’s a thing.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I love building Lego sets and reading! I read at least two books a week and one Wikipedia page a day, when time allows, of course (laughs).

Those are some cool tattoos you’ve got there! Are you planning on getting any more?

Yes! I actually want to get a full sleeve eventually, but I’m building it slowly. I want to get animal tattoos all on this one arm.

We love the pop of colour of your vest! Do you usually dress up for work?

I almost didn’t today, actually, because it’s been so hot. In fact, all of my colleagues are like “Are you crazy? It’s so hot outside!” but I thought, why not? And I’m glad I did!

What are some of your go-to places to shop at?

I love buying stuff off of Carousell, and I also love all of the vests that I’ve gotten from Stakeout. But I won’t lie, some of my staples are from fast fashion places like ZARA. I try to shop as sustainably as possible though, and I make sure that I’m wearing every piece that I own.

What are some of your goals for the year?

I just started strength training, so I want to get better at that for sure. That and just being and staying happy and kind and fun, as cheesy as it sounds!
