Back in 2018, Hana Martin didn't think that much of TikTok. Then a relatively new name in social media, the app was simply a way of her sharing funny videos that she had filmed with her friends, having set up an account as a bit of a joke.
Fast forward to now, however, and that joke has become something truly extraordinary. Today, at just 19, Hana is one of the app's brightest stars, with millions of people from across the globe watching her videos and some of the world's biggest brands desperate to work with her.
It has been a remarkable journey for the teenager from Cowbridge, who made the tough decision to drop out of school during her A-level year in order to pursue TikTok full time. While it has not been without its challenges, through hard work and perseverance, she has forged a career that many her age could only dream of.
