Career

Tinx started her TikTok account in the summer of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] She acquired more than a million followers on the app within a year of starting her account, [3] most of them female. [2] She has been dubbed the "older sister" of TikTok in part due to her honesty about a variety of topics, including romance and mental health. [2] [3] She started gaining followers following her skits about being in your late 20s and celebrity gossip. [3] Her content also includes dating advice and "starter packs for rich moms". [1] On her content about rich moms, she said, "It's half satire, half aspirational...Everybody hates the rich mom, the archetypal anal woman who doesn't eat carbs and has the five-thousand-dollar stroller, but they'll also say, 'Ooh, I go to the same coffee shop as her.' It's the last group of people that you can safely poke fun at." [4] In January 2022, she released her rich mom branded apparel line "Rich Mom Gear". [5]

Tinx was nominated for "Breakout Creator" at the 11th Streamy Awards. [6]

Tinx signed with Sirius XM on February 21, 2022, to launch the "It's Me, Tinx" podcast on Stitcher Radio.

In April 2022, a series of controversial tweets posted by Tinx resurfaced on a thread in the sub-Reddit r/tinxsnark. The tweets were posted between 2012 and 2020 and were generally fat-phobic and misogynistic, targeting stars such as Kim Kardashian. [9] [10]

On May 23, 2023, Tinx released her debut book, "The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself," which covered topics like dating, self-confidence, friendships, and more through a variety of personal anecdotes.
