Hasley Pitman Bio

Hasley Pitman, a first year law student, was stuck at home with her two teenage sisters Hope and Halle due to COVID-19 lockdowns in spring 2020 when they started to watch TikTok videos to kill boredom. The three sisters, who have significant age difference, were able to bond through the app. It was their mother who first suggested that they make TikTok videos together, following which the sisters created a joint profile and started making videos of them dancing, lip-syncing and acting in April.

As only Halle is a professional dancer among the three sisters, she often taught the other two various trending dances. One of their early videos, in which they danced to the tune of the Lady Gaga song Poker Face, went viral on the platform, helping them surpass one million followers on TikTok within months. Hasley, who remained very down-to-earth despite quick fame, believes that their content initially stood out because the three sisters incorporated their different dance styles in their videos. The sisters had also started posting on Instagram and YouTube, and had gained another 45k fans between the two platforms by August that year. By that time, they had signed with WME talent agency and had travelled to Los Angeles, California, several times to collaborate with other social media creators, including the Wright brothers, whom Hasley now considers among her best friends.

Long before earning fame on TikTok, Hasley Pitman had already carved a promising career path for herself as “a driven, organized and positive individual”. She was one of about 50 students across Northeast Florida to be selected for Youth Leadership Jacksonville Program in August 2014. She was interested in news broadcasting and enrolled into the University of Florida in 2016 to obtain her Bachelor of Science degree in Telecommunication, with a minor in Leadership.

Even as a freshman, she was an emerging leader at the Dance Marathon at the university and latter served as the Public Relations Captain for the same as a sophomore. In 2017-18, she worked as a reporter at the PBS affiliate station, WUFT News, for its news and radio programs, and subsequently served as a multimedia journalist and an anchor for it First at Five program.

For three months in mid-2019, she was a Social Newsgathering Intern for NBC News at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, during which period she wrote an article for TODAY about 13-year-old Ella Casano’s “Medi Teddy”. While in college, she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta) sorority and also acted as its Vice President of Membership at Gainesville, Florida for about a year in 2018-19. She was the College Liaison for UF’s College of Journalism and Communications for a year in 2019-20 and managed tours for prospective students and distinguished alum.

In the meantime, she had completed several video production and lighting courses from Lynda.com in October 2017. While attending University of Florida, she went abroad as a foreign student to study Italian Language and Literature at the Florence University of the Arts in 2018. Following graduation in 2020, she entered the Caruso School of Law at Pepperdine University, from where she is expected to complete her Doctor of Law degree in 2023. She intends to specialize in entertainment and media law and has dreams of hosting or corresponding for a national network.
