laudia Rosa, a 24-year-old who
graduated with an English degree
from the University of Essex in 2017,
has found her current career to be far from
what she could have ever hoped for. And
the strange thing is, she didn't even need
her degree to get where she is today.
Since 2014, Rosa had been working as
personal assistant for “a pretty renowned
model”, who she prefers not to name,
which allowed her to create a strong list
of contacts that would soon be of use to
her.
