Who is Sara Hopkins?
Born on 16 March, 1991 in Columbus, Georgia, under the ever-intense sign of Pisces, Sara Hopkins Ayala is a 28-year-old American social media star, ex-Viner, Snapchat wizard, influencer, marketer, writer, reporter and, yes – even an actor. This multi-talented lady has risen high up the ranks of social media’s elite. In 2016, she was nominated for the Snapchatter of the Year award, and proclaimed the “queen of social media” by Creative Loafing. Her career curve and life story are far from usual.
Early Life: The Truth About Sara Hopkins and Her Family
Sara “Sayhop” Hopkins Ayala grew up in an American family in the Peach State. Despite all her charisma and talkativeness, Sara was always hesitant to reveal anything about her family, or childhood for that matter. For a long time, the only information available was that her parents had a loving marriage. A few years ago, in a YouTube video entitled “50 FACTS ABOUT ME”, Sara finally revealed that she was adopted, along with her telling the world her true surname – Underwood. In typical Sara fashion, she let everyone know about this through laughter and jokes. It is also known that Sara grew up with two sisters, Casey and Kristen. From an early age, Sara had a knack for public performing and expressing herself verbally.
Education and Early Career: Meant For Television
Upon matriculating from Harris County High School, Sara knew that a career on television was her true calling. She was accepted into Auburn University, where she devoted herself to studies in Radio, Television and Film. An exceptional student, Sara graduated at the top of her class and immediately got a job as a reporter on WWAY Channel 3 in mid-2014. Her full position was News Reporter/ Journalist, which meant she got a chance to showcase her charisma and talkativeness by conducting interviews. Even though Sara was successful at her dream job, she was concurrently drawn to something else.
Moving in an Upwards Direction: Social Media
In early-2015, Sara discovered Vine, a social network which allows users to share six-second videos that are on an automatic loop. With sufficient knowledge of the media world, she was interested in analyzing how people behave on the network and decided to join the site herself. Mostly centered around memes, pop culture and current events, Vine was a great way for anyone to become popular. Not long after creating a profile, Sara steadily became one of the network’s trending content creators. This meant that the more Vines she posted, the more popular she became. It wasn’t hard for her to devise a content strategy and capitalize on her newly-found fame.
Continued Success: Promotion and a Rise in Popularity
WWAY quickly realized how popular Sara, was due to her Vine videos, especially as in a short time, her account was followed by no less than 500,000 people. A favorite was her series of Vines on which she impersonated a dolphin in different situations. To capitalize on having such a popular reporter, the station rewarded Sara with a promotion to Director of Special Projects/On-Air Host. This position included an array of new responsibilities, but her experience with social media, marketing and other similar niches made her the perfect person for the job. In one of her Vines, Sara mentions that she also won an award for her work in journalism, but didn’t specify which one.
A Venture Into Acting: Sara’s Appearance on Secrets and Lies
Due to her adeptness at reporting and increasing social media popularity, Sara began receiving offers to appear in movies and TV shows. Ultimately, she appeared in the hit show “Secrets and Lies” in 2015, in the minor role of “Reporter #1”, actually in just two episodes for a few seconds.
Changing Careers: Full-Time Social Media Influencer
In early 2016, Sara decided that two jobs were becoming a handful. She couldn’t do research for her appearances and reports and leave aside Vine and YouTube, two of her most lucrative sources of income. While it was hard to choose between two things she loved, Sara was realistic, and understood the potential of social media. In March 2016, she resigned from her original position, having decided to make social media her full-time job. Around the same time, Snapchat became another one of Sara’s social media outlets. In less than two months, 70,000 people added her on their popular instant messaging platform. With more time, Sara could create more than just a lot of content – she could share high-quality videos and blogs to engage with her audience.

He won’t walk on my stomach anymore and he’s so careful when he does crawl up on my lap or chest.

The Dissolution of Vine: How Sara Managed to Adapt
On 27 October 2016, the creators of Vine announced that Twitter was officially in the process of discontinuing the upload option, which meant that some of the world’s most popular social media stars, like Sara, couldn’t post new videos. Thankfully, Sara wasn’t unprepared; she had already been posting videos to Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube, which meant her following was still massive. After migrating her videos to other platforms, Sara was ready to focus on vlogging and turning the “Sayhop” moniker into a true global brand. TikTok, Twitter and other apps helped her traverse her second challenge in just two years after graduating from the University of Auburn.
