Miranda Kerr Becomes A Victoria's Secret Angel Following her shoot for Dolly, Miranda Kerr continued in her regular schooling while modeling on the side. Tragedy struck as she was on the cusp of high school graduation when her boyfriend died suddenly, but Kerr persevered and landed back-to-back modeling contracts with local branches of Chadwick Models and Chic Management. These contracts allowed her to add to her professional branding by working for Billabong, a national surfing company that featured her in ads for One Teaspoon, Roxy and Tigerlily among others.
