Madeline’s career started when Maddy attended a
Fashion Parade late 2015 with her mum and said to her mum “mum me model”. Rosanne knew it would take a lot of work and
dedication, and told Madeline if she wanted to commit to the journey, she would fully support her.
After Madeline lost a few more kilos of weight,
Rosanne (Madeline’s Mum) created social media accounts and posted a ‘before and after’ photo online to show the results and
to encourage others. Rosanne was very confident that the story Madeline had to share with the world would travel around the
globe, long before it actually hit the internet.
Just as predicted, the photo went viral. Instantly, overnight - Maddy’s social media numbers grew over 100 Thousand, and within
a few days Madeline’s photo had been viewed over 6.8 Million times. Over the next few days Madeline hit headlines all over the
globe with publications from Iceland, Germany, the US, Australia, Mexico, Cuba, and the UK; nearly everywhere in the world
had picked up the story.
