From white coat to webcam
Flo Tran started off her content creation journey on a whim.
With a decade of schooling and a career path laid out, she discovered something missing: herself.

Floskeee is, before anything, comedic relief in the most literal sense of the phrase.
Her community of “roasting trolls” puts the joke before everything else.

For Tran, that was more of a mantra than a quippy tagline.
In many ways, she admits, it stifled her growth as she still struggles with making real-world connections.
“[They] were my only social escape since I was always at home.
I mainly got into games… for the friendships.”
“I wouldnt trade any of it for the world.”
When not playing games, she had her nose in books hoping to succeed in the medical field.
Tran worked as a full-time respiratory therapist during last year’s health crisis.
That experience made her rethink her life, passions, and what she wanted her future to look like.
Her whole life, she said, the medical field was seen as the only option.
To an extent, she even tricked herself into believing her path was of her own making.
Until things got dire.
“It took a huge mental and emotional toll on me.
Some people can handle that kind of stress, but I couldn’t.
I felt physical pain watching people pass away.”
Now, through rediscovery, she’s happier than ever.
“It was risky, but it was a calculated decision.
I used that same work ethic and energy for content creation and streaming, and now I can continue.
Everything just went upwards.”
As is often the case nowadays, TikTok was the catalyst for her growth.
Relatability is the key to unlocking TikTok virality.
With her culture and humor in tow, she was able to tap into that market with explosive success.
It’s hard to break old traditions, but Tran is committed to trying.
“I hope someday my parents can be supportive, too.
“I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.”
