Another Filipino model is set to work with Victoria’s Secret

Filipino-American model Kelsey Merritt is living proof that everyone can achieve anything if they put their mind to it.

Less than a year ago, Merritt tweeted that one of her career goals is to get signed up with famous lingerie brand, Victoria’s Secret.

“Mark this tweet. Makakapag VS din ako balang araw,” she tweeted with the hashtag #lawofattraction.

Ten months after, Merritt was able to make her dream a reality and is now set to do a shoot with Victoria’s Secret.

An ecstatic Merritt went on a short trip to memory lane before announcing that she has reached one of goals.

“Remember this tweet? Well, I’m shooting with Victoria’s Secret next week! I cannot contain my happiness. All for You!” the model said.
