Ashley-Victoria Smith

I am 32 years old have a degree in History and Religion. I've been in the fashion industry since I was a kid. When I was 25 I started working for a modeling agency (the same one I was with when I was a kid) as their marketing director, that's when I knew what I wanted to do and that was to be a fashion show producer. After two years of being overworked and underpaid, I quit. I had no backup plan and soon found myself homeless. For three months I was living out of a suitcase and sleeping on my friends couches with a two-bedroom apartment in storage. Everyday I was applying for jobs and looking for a home. With the help from my parents, I was able to secure a beautiful townhome and really start to work on my dream.
