MY STORY

As the oldest in my family, I always felt the pressure to set the example — to follow the “safe” path, get the degree, land the stable job, and make everyone proud.

So I went to college. For two years, I pushed myself to fit into that version of success. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t mine. Dropping out was the hardest decision of my life — especially coming from an Asian American household where education and achievement carry so much weight. It felt like I was letting people down… but in reality, I was finally choosing myself.

Because here’s the truth: I didn’t want a life where a boss decided when I could eat lunch, take a break, see my family, or take a vacation. I didn’t want to spend my best years tied to a desk building someone else’s dream.

So I made a different choice. And that choice led me here — building a business I love, creating content on my terms, and helping other creators do the same.

MY MISSION

I teach because I know how it feels to want more — more freedom, more creativity, more control over your life — and to have no clue where to start.

For so long, I thought success had to look a certain way: a degree, a corporate job, a steady climb up the ladder. But stepping away from that path showed me something different.

That’s why I teach. Because I believe everyone has the ability to build a life they love, without needing 10K followers, a corporate job, or a boss calling the shots. Helping creators see that possibility — and watching them land wins they never thought were possible — is the best feeling in the world.

HONEY POP SOCIALS' VALUES

✨ There’s room for everyone.
Even if someone else has “already done it,” they haven’t done it your way. Your voice, your style, and your story matter.

✨ Your personality is your superpower.
UGC isn’t about being the most polished — it’s about being real. The more of you you bring into your content, the more brands will see your value.

✨ Authenticity > Perfection.
Brands aren’t looking for actors — they’re looking for real people who connect with their audience. Imperfect content can still convert.

✨ Your uniqueness is your edge.
What makes you different is exactly what will attract the right brands. The quirks, the lifestyle, the story you carry — those are what set you apart.

✨ We are all some brand’s target audience.
Whether you’re a student, a parent, a traveler, a pet lover, or all of the above — there’s a brand out there that wants your perspective.

✨ Collaboration over comparison.
This isn’t a competition. The Hive thrives when creators cheer each other on, share knowledge, and grow together.

✨ Progress > Overnight Success.
It’s not about getting it all perfect on day one — it’s about showing up, practicing, and building step by step until the results come.

✨ Freedom is the goal.
At the end of the day, UGC is about creating a business that supports your life — not the other way around.
