Meet Nalu Babe Kaylie Murdock
Meet the gorgeous and inspiring Kaylie Murdock, a 20-year-old powerhouse from Glendale, Arizona, now living her best life in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Kaylie is the kind of girl who radiates positive energy and confidence, and she’s ready to take on the world with her fierce attitude and big dreams. From the moment she joined the Nalu Bay Swimwear family, she fell in love with everything the brand stands for: empowering women to embrace their unique beauty and thrive. “Nalu is all about creating opportunities for women to shine, and I love how they help us grow our platforms and feel amazing in every piece,” she says with a smile.
When Kaylie isn’t slaying her Nalu looks, you’ll find her soaking up the sun at the beach with her dog, breaking a sweat at the gym, or hanging out with her friends and family. She’s all about finding balance between staying active and spending quality time with her loved ones. Whether she’s chasing after waves or just enjoying a relaxing walk, Kaylie knows how to have fun while staying true to herself. “Being outdoors, whether it's at the beach or on a hike, just helps me feel free and recharged,” she shares.
As a little girl, Kaylie had big dreams to become a therapist specializing in helping younger kids or military veterans with PTSD. While she’s still passionate about helping others in these areas, she’s also pursuing another dream—modeling. “I’ve always been drawn to fashion and the way it can help people express themselves,” she says. “But more than that, I want to use my platform to help people feel good about themselves and build confidence.”
Kaylie describes herself as “determined, compassionate, and adventurous,” and her biggest inspiration comes from none other than her oldest sister. “She’s been through so much in life and always stays positive. Her strength is something I admire so much,” says Kaylie. “She taught me that no matter how tough things get, we can keep going. Having her as a role model has shaped who I am today and continues to inspire me every day.”
One of Kaylie’s proudest moments came at the age of 19 when she helped open a new gym and took on the responsibility of managing it. “I was so excited to take on such a big challenge at a young age, and it was definitely one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” she says. “It showed me that I’m capable of so much more than I realized.” Now, as she looks toward her future, Kaylie is eager to continue pursuing her modeling career, with a focus on building her confidence and inspiring others along the way. “Modeling is such a great way to showcase confidence and self-expression, and I want to be a part of that,” she shares.
In addition to her modeling ambitions, Kaylie has lived in four different states, and each one has left her with unforgettable memories. “I love how each state has its own vibe and culture,” she says. “I feel so lucky to have experienced so many different places and to have learned so much from the people I’ve met along the way.” Whether it’s the people, the food, or the traditions, Kaylie embraces every new experience with open arms.
For all her younger followers, Kaylie’s advice is simple but powerful: “Life can be tough, and sometimes we can be our own worst critics. But remember, growth takes time, and it’s okay to not have everything figured out. Just be kind to yourself, take things one step at a time, and keep pushing forward. You’re capable of achieving everything you dream of.”
