After a pool accident made her a quadriplegic just before her 21st Birthday, Rhiannon’s big plans  for the future were suddenly put on hold. Understandably, she initially struggled to come to terms  with her diagnosis of never walking again, but Rhiannon’s tenacious drive and determination saw  her set out to prove the doctors wrong.  

Everything happens for a reason. While it took many years to believe it, Rhiannon says her injury  has given her a newfound purpose she never felt before, enabling her life to blossom into what it  is today. In addition to now being able to walk short distances with the assistance of crutches,  drive as well as own and ride her horse Henry, Rhiannon has also; started a spinal injury  rehabilitation charity and recovery centre called The Next Step, become the Napoleon Makeup  Academy’s first ever quadriplegic graduate, launched her own freelance makeup business, grown  an impressive blog and social media following and forged a career as a motivational speaker and  became the first female on wheels to dominate the catwalk at the 2019, Melbourne Fashion Week.

This  woman certainly doesn’t do things by halves!

In 2019, Rhiannon was snatched up by the prestigious Model and Talent Agency, Bella as the  need for Diversity within both the modelling and fashion industries was becoming apparent and  has since been the go-too for designers and brands wanting to feature “real” and “diverse” women  in their fashion campaigns and showcases as well as being the first disabled women to wheel the  runway at Melbourne Fashion Week in 2019.
