She began her career on Israeli children's television.[10] In 2016, she was chosen to be the face of Scoop shoes, earning a NIS 50,000 contract at the age of 15,[11] considered to be a large sum for her age.[12] She has also led a global campaign for hair removal brand Veet.[13] She says that at her highschool, some of her teachers do not know about her social media career.[14] While still in ninth grade, her monthly income from her social media profile was at least NIS 10,000 excluding her sponsorship deals.[15]

Her large income at her age has raised eyebrows, but she told Israel Channel 2 that her career is being supported by her family.[16]
