“When I was 13, I saw the VS Fashion Show and said, ‘One day I will get there.’ Three or four years later, I shot with Victoria’s Secret PINK for the first time,” she says.

“Now, I feel like I was destined to do this. Victoria’s Secret caught me at the perfect time, because I’m finally happy with myself and my body.”

In a day and age when diversity is valued and celebrated, she says she’s proud to “support a brand that actually supports beautiful body types and diversity.”
