Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got started as a content creator?
I come from a background working in healthcare, nursing sector. I have always however enjoyed social media and content creation. Winning Miss Northern Ireland boosted my platform more and gave me more opportunities to be creative and create content.

I feel over the past few years more people have accepted content creation to be genuine work, however many still do not understand the time and effort that may go in to even the shortest of clips.
How do you stay current and innovative in such a fast-paced industry, and what tactics do you use to adapt to trends and changes?
Although it is a highly fast-paced industry, I am very involved in social media, so it is very easy for me to stay on top of everything going on. I also work in marketing and social media therefore it is part of my everyday role and I’m very much in that world!
