RESUME 

Sherri Holley
 

My name is Sherri Holley.

I am 24 years old and am half Canadian and half Taiwanese.

​

If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m an adventure book with a rainbow hidden in the pages. You never know what colour you’ll find.

​

Initially, I was more interested in photography. At 16, I bought my first camera and fell in love with taking photos of different people posing with unique sceneries. After a few years, I slowly grew fond of showcasing my work through social media. It wasn’t until I turned 21, did I get the courage to get in front of the camera instead of always being behind the scene. Though it has taken a few years, I’ve become very comfortable being in front of the camera while experimenting with different kinds of photoshoots and commercials.

​

I didn’t use to look like this though. In my teens, I was actually a professional tennis player and a national representative for my home country, Taiwan. Unfortunately, under a series of events, I had a permanent injury in my left knee. I tore my ACL and completely shattered the ligament in my inner left knee due to hyper-extension and overtraining for a long period of time. In my prime years, I was actually underweighted with only a 14% body fat mass. Two years after the injury, I, unfortunately, gained 35 kgs (77 lbs.) due to hormonal dysfunction. I had to have a cyst in my ovaries surgically removed when I turned 21/junior year. By the time I graduated the next year in 2019, I decided to make a big change in my life and lose the extra weight. Within 8 months, I lost 20 kgs and am still fighting this hormonal battle. 

​

Though I am not at my ideal weight yet, I am confident of what my body looks like today and am still working hard to improve my body image. If you happen to stumble upon this introduction, I appreciate you spending the time to get to know me and hope that you can feel my affability. I’d love to get to know you and hope that in time, we will have the opportunity to work together.
