In 2019, I delved into the world of TikTok and began creating unique and artistic jello creations. Through consistent content creation and engagement with my followers, I was able to grow my TikTok following to over 500k and generate over 120 million video views. This led to multiple brand sponsorships, solidifying my position as a successful creator on the platform. Additionally, I was honored to be one of the first members of TikTok's Creator Fund, which recognizes and supports top creators on the platform. This experience taught me valuable skills in understanding and utilizing the TikTok algorithm, creating engaging and shareable content, building and engaging with a community on the platform and working with brands to create sponsored content. This experience also helped me to gain a better understanding of the social media landscape and how to be successful on various platforms.
