What sort of advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
People are too preoccupied worrying about their own lives to judge you as much as you think they are.

What’s your favorite Teen Vogue moment? When I got to interview Kylie Jenner.

Share a funny anecdote from a first job or internship.
I worked as a social media manager and I had one instruction from my boss: “Make us go viral!”

What beauty product are you loving right now?
Does coconut oil count?

What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?
Plain black and white tank tops in every shape and size.

What’s your go-to karaoke song?
"I Knew You Were Trouble" by T-Swift

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Work out first thing in the morning so you can’t make excuses for skipping it. Oh, and be nice because everyone’s fighting their own battle.

What’s one thing you wish you could change about the world?
That girls could find it innately within themselves to feel empowered from a young age.

What’s a goal you have for the rest of this year?
Stay in touch more often with my friends who live out of town.

Gemma Ward because we share a birthday, she has the most interesting angular face and I met her at a random vintage thrift shop in L.A.
