Brooke Styles is successful in front of and behind a camera, but her latest job has put her in the national spotlight

BEING in front of the camera took Brooke Styles around the world with modelling gigs.

Being behind the camera has opened her world up to never-ending opportunities.

The former Nambour State College student is celebrating her recent success in becoming a national ambassador for fashion accessory brand, Colette Hayman.

The 23-year-old has a social media following of more than 150,000 people and has worked for well-known brands, ASOS and Bondi Sands.

You will see her work stretched across every Colette store in Australia for the brand's newest festival campaign.

"I was on my way home from living in Lombok, Indonesia, when I got the email from Colette," she said.

"I honestly was so overwhelmed and was so ready to get back to Queensland to create this new campaign that was now in front of me.

"I never would have thought when graduating from high school that this is where I would be today.

"It just wasn't an option.

"There were no career paths in social media and it took a long time for the people around me to accept that I was taking it seriously."

Ms Styles also presents at high schools and business events to educate people about career paths in social media.
