my story 

Hello, my name is Hailee.

I was born in Connecticut, USA- a young girl with big dreams and an even bigger imagination. Growing up in a quiet town that didn’t offer much creative energy, I often found myself daydreaming about places like New York, California, or Europe, places where I could fully express who I was inside.

I was adopted at the age of one, and throughout my childhood, I sometimes wondered where I truly belonged. Like many people, I spent time trying to fit in, shaping myself into what I thought others wanted me to be. But eventually, I realized that the key to fulfillment was already within me. I began changing the way I thought- replacing fear with faith, and uncertainty with clarity. Through positive affirmations, self-reflection, and inner work, I uncovered who I really am.

At my core, I’m a creative, curious, adventurous, and deeply strong person. I’m passionate about making a difference in the world, loving myself fully, and inspiring others to do the same. My dream is to write powerful stories, model and act on the side, and build a career in business and fashion, especially sustainable fashion, so I can be part of the movement that redefines beauty and protects the planet.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been sketching designs, writing stories, and dreaming big. What started as childhood hobbies have evolved into lifelong passions. From a girl searching for her identity to a woman grounded in purpose and resilience, my journey is proof that transformation is always possible.

Today, I love myself by doing what lights me up- traveling the world, capturing its beauty through photography, and using my voice, both in writing and music, to uplift and heal. My environment may not have always nurtured creativity, but I made space for it anyway. I carved my own path. I still am.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that everyone’s journey is different, and that’s a good thing. The only competition is with who you were yesterday. It’s okay to feel lost sometimes; what matters is that you keep moving forward. The change begins with one simple (and yes, cliché) phrase:
I can do anything I set my mind to.

Thank you for being here.
