Hi Alexa, please tell us a little about you?
My name is Alexa Nicole Collins and I’m a full time social media influencer. I’ve been doing this just a little over 6 years now and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve gotten the opportunity to travel all over the world, meet new people, and work with brands that I’ve always dreamed of working with.
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Happy, Motivated, Energetic
Name one your strengths?
Organization
Best advice ever given?
Always treat people the way you want to be treated.
Who has been the biggest influence on your life?
My father. He is the most hardworking, sociable, happiest person i know.
How and when did you start into modeling?
I started modeling when I was 16. My parents took me down to Miami and I signed with Ford Models. Ever since that day I’ve always loved being in front of a camera and making a career out of it!
What did you learn from your biggest failure?
I learned to never let people take advantage of you. At one point in my career, I was too nice. Now I’ve learned to have thick skin, and to be stronger.
What is fun and rewarding about modeling? And what is not?
The traveling that comes with it. I’ve gotten to see so many cool places. I guess one downfall would be the long hours. Sometimes photo shoots can go longer than 10 hours.
What’s your best advice for an aspiring model?
Put in the work and the hours, it will be worth it!
Who in this world do you admire the most, and why?
The supermodel Candice Swanepoel. She’s a supermodel, wife, and mother. She pulls all of it off so gracefully.
What’s next for you in 2021?
I have a lot of goals for 2021. I want to travel even more, keep growing my brand, and eventually own a business of my own.
Which magazine or project is still on your bucket list?
Definitely Sports Illustrated. It would be a dream to be in the magazine.
What’s next for you?
I want to start a clothing or swimwear brand of my own!
Now talking about Instagram, can you share some tips for keeping your account interesting?
It’s super important to engage with your audience, post quality content, and share your experiences (good OR bad) with everyone.
I bet you get millions of it, but what are the best and worst Instagram DM pickup lines you received so far?
My favorite one is “hey babe, if corona hasn’t taken you out, can I?”
What is your favorite healthy food?
A nice Greek salad. So YUMMY!
And your favorite cheat food?
Tacos or enchiladas. Mexican food is my absolute weakness.
What is your own definition of happiness?
Having a successful life with lots of traveling, eventually getting married, starting a family, and living in a beautiful home.
What is your workout routine these days?
I do my workouts at home. I follow “Mad Fit” on YouTube and do her workout videos. They’re amazing and fun!
Who is your biggest beauty inspiration?
Margot Robbie. She is so beautiful, naturally!
What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion is everything, it’s art to me. Nothing more exciting than seeing what designers create!

Candice Swanepoel, and Emily Ratajkowski. My favorite designers are Chanel, Balenciaga, and Gucci.
How would you explain your fashion style and what items in your closet can you not be without?
I would say my fashion is a little bit edgy/sexy. I can’t ever live without my trendy joggers, and high-knee boots.
Holiday destination?
Home! Nothing like being at home with my family for the holidays.
What do you like to watch on Tv?
I love watching thrillers or mysteries. Anything that can keep me on my feet!
