Seventeen-year-old Ashanee B. had never modeled professionally before—but if you look on page 22 of GL's February/March issue, you'll find her first-ever fashion editorial shoot in "Love Your Bod." And she looks amazing!  

So how'd she kick off her career? Ashanee is a graduate of Barbizon Modeling Schools and in October 2013, she hopped on board their Passport to Discovery cruise to sharpen her skills, get face-time with industry pros and generally have a blast. GL was also onboard PTD, and we couldn't help but notice her killer confidence and awesome attitude—earning Ashanee the coveted spot of GL's PTD model search winner.

Ashanee strutted her stuff from the hallways to runways—and you can, too. Check out the video below to see her amazing experience from start to finish, plus score a few hints on how to become a top teen model. "Have confidence. If this something you really want to do, just go for it," says Ashanee. "If it's your passion, do what you want to do and have fun."
