Rich, well connected parents.

She did some modeling and then helped Ivanka with her clothing line.

Then became one of the top advisors to Trump.

during the Mueller investigation. She then went to work at Fox Corporation for two years as Executive Vice President! Not sure what qualifications she had for that job either, but she was making approximately $900,000 a year. She quit that job and returned to Trump's administration. To me that seems pretty mysterious I wonder why she left that sweet Fox gig.

According to Wikipedia she graduated from college in 2010 and then….

Early career
Hicks began in public relations with the New York City firm Zeno Group.[18] She joined public relations firm Hiltzik Strategies in 2012, after meeting the firm's founder at a Super Bowl event, and worked there for Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, on her fashion line, and then on other Trump ventures.[14][24]

In August 2014, Hicks joined the Trump Organization full-time.[16] She worked for Ivanka Trump inside Trump Tower, helping expand her fashion label (the Ivanka Trump Collection) and modeling for her online store.[25] In October 2014, she began working directly for Donald Trump.[26]
