I was physically and mentally bullied as a teenager for four years by girls at my school. I suffered from anxiety, depression and an eating disorder.

In year 10, I dropped out of school and my parents became my full-time carers.

But through sheer willpower I've turned my life around. I went back to school and completed years 11 and 12. I then enrolled to study commercial floristry at TAFE. Now I run a successful florist business.
