Yes

I stay updated on Instagram and TikTok trends by being really active on both platforms not just posting, but constantly watching, saving, and analyzing what’s performing well. I follow a mix of creators, brands, and trend pages, and I pay attention to things like trending sounds, transitions, caption styles, and what type of content is getting high engagement. I also use TikTok’s "For You" page and Instagram Reels as inspiration, saving ideas that I can fit different brands. Since I create content myself, I’m always testing trends in real time, which helps me understand what feels authentic and what actually works.

Growing up watching creators like Alisha Marie and LaurDIY, I was always inspired by how they could turn everyday moments into something creative, relatable, and exciting. That’s what first made me fall in love with social media. Since my freshman year of college, I’ve had the opportunity to work with different brands and create content, which has only deepened that passion. I love how influencer marketing and social media allow me to combine creativity, storytelling, and community whether it’s through TikToks, Instagram posts, or campaign ideas. Being able to create content that makes people feel connected while also supporting a brand’s vision is what motivates me the most.
