- After graduating from the California State University, Northridge, she pursued a career in accounting before becoming popular for her Daddy Issues Instagram account.
- Although that account was started in July 2014, she kept her identity a secret until August 2015 due to her lack of self-confidence. Her identity was revealed through an exclusive interview with MTV, the popular American cable TV channel. During this phase of secrecy, she used to work as a guest blogger for MTV.
- A few months later, she had been signed up by the renowned talent management firm Creative Artists Agency. Soon after this, she launched her website which included blogs, memes, videos, and an advice column.
- In 2017, she launched a clothing brand. Later that year, in collaboration with Facebook, she created a show called Top Five With Violet Benson.
