Anna Fitzpatrick is a young Kiwi woman who has accomplished many things by overcoming adversity.

At age 7, Anna was diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis (full body hair loss), making for a traumatic childhood where she battled with bullying and a low self esteem.

But her confidence grew with encouragement and friendship, and she began to metarmorphose into the woman she is today.

Once she reached 14, Anna's looks had garnered attention in New Zealand and overseas, and she uncovered the cloud's silver lining by taking on a top modelling contract.  After becoming a well-recognised face in New Zealand, her jobs took her abroad to the UK and Europe.   In her time, Anna has modelled for all of New Zealand's top designers as well as international brands such as Christian Dior and has spent three years presenting on ALT TV.

Anna used her modelling to open new doors and has turned one of life's biggest hurdles into a positive experience full of opportunity.  She truly relishes life and believes in maintaining a healthy body and mind.
