“I stay up-to-date by spending time on the For You Page daily, following trend-reporting accounts, and paying attention to popular audio, editing styles, and hashtags. That way, the content remains both engaging and relevant.”

“I haven’t created beauty UGC yet, but I watch a lot of TikTok beauty content and study what makes it engaging. I’ve noticed that transformation videos, quick tutorials, and relatable skits perform really well. I’m confident I can apply those same techniques—like trending sounds, natural lighting, and storytelling—to create content that feels authentic and connects with the audience.”

“In junior high, I worked on a group project where we had to design a presentation about social media’s impact on society. Some of us focused on research, others on creating visuals, while I helped organize the flow and made sure the information connected with the audience. By combining our skills—research, design, and communication—we created a polished presentation that received high marks and positive feedback from teachers. That experience showed me how collaborating with different strengths can make a project more impactful.”
