Christina Elezaj: From Pre-Med to Influencer
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
Christina Elezaj is a fashion and beauty creator who made the leap from a full-time corporate job at LinkedIn to building her own platform and brand, including a capsule collection with Revolve. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about her winding path from a biology major and medical career track to marketing at LinkedIn to full-time content creation, why persistence and work ethic have been the throughline across every job she’s held, and the reality of burnout and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into being a creator. They also discuss finding a personal style that’s authentically yours instead of chasing trends, how she uses AI as a tool but never for anything personal, and what it really means to build a loyal community instead of just growing a following.📌 Rivki's IG: rivkirabinowitz | TikTok: rivkirabinowitz📌 Christina's IG: christinaelezaj | TikTok: christinaelezaj00:00 Intro02:03 Christina's Career Journey: Biology to Fashion07:37 The Through Line of Success in Every Role09:53 What Backend Creator Work Actually Looks Like12:16 Finding Your Personal Style Without a Fashion Background19:37 Losing Yourself to the Algorithm24:15 Leaning on AI vs. Trusting Yourself27:41 Her Personal Style & Wardrobe Staples31:30 Advice for Starting Out as a Creator33:16 What Makes Successful Creators Different36:32 Rapid Fire: New York & Fashion
