Mary is from Brisbane, Australia, who shared that she looks up to the Victoria's Secret Angel as one of her role models.
She said, "If I could be anything like her that would be, like, really cool. She is such an inspiration to me and she is just so positive."
4. She wants to be healthy, not skinny
When asked about how she plans to influence DOLLY magazine readers, she replied that she wants to be a positive role model and wants them to be happy with who they are and not be compelled to change for anyone. She added that every person should embrace their uniqueness. She said she aims to be healthy and not just be another skinny model.

She will appear together with Nic Westaway, actor of "Home and Away". She was chosen among 3,000 contestants and is set to represent the brand for an entire year.
