Q: What kind of content do you like to bring to your viewers?
A: I love to sing, dance, and write original music on my streams. I also do a monthly open mic and sports related content. My dog, Martha, seems to be the star of my streams sometimes too. My main focus is keeping it fun. Laughing with my viewers is my favorite part and I like every stream to be like a party or a kick back.
Q: What features do you like on the app that you don't get on others like Instagram and TikTok?

A: I’m inspired by the fact that people from all over the world come to see me daily. It drives me to continue to speak candidly about world issues and to make art and content that can impact people globally.
Q: How has your streaming routine changed for you since the pandemic?
A: As an artist and a student, it’s been really freeing to work from home and make my own schedule. I’m super grateful for the flexibility of streaming.
Q: How has streaming overall on LIVIT helped you to connect with fans and viewers from around the world?
A: LIVIT really expanded my audience in a way that I’d never experienced before. In a matter of months, I made friends and fans from all over the world that hang with me virtually and believe in me. It’s a blessing.
Q: At the end of the day, what do you want viewers to take away from your streams?
A: I just hope that no matter what kind of day you’re having, you can come into my stream and have a laugh and be in warm company.
