What is one beauty ritual you follow every day?

I’ve been loving sunscreen instead of moisturizer during the day and doing a little lymphatic facial massage and moisturizer at night. I suffered from acne and am still a bit, so I try doing regular facials and deep cleanses. I also do treatments for skin texture; I loved the Clear + Brilliant laser with Skincare by Amy Peterson in Miami Beach.

Do you have any advice you’d give to your teenage self?

To keep it up, keep going and have a lot of patience. I also wish I got in the habit of working from a younger age—it would have saved me from a lot of procrastination and laziness.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Whenever you are feeling too comfortable, that’s when you need to start moving.

What’s next?

I recently started a production company that works with the Bahamas. My goal is to bring different types of brands there to shoot, hire local talent and experience the beautiful backdrop that the country provides. I’m very excited about that.
