Heidi Albertsen

Heidi Albertsen is a Danish international model. She is the goodwill ambassador for Life Project for Africa and the Lower Eastside Service Center.

Albertsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her first job, at the age of 10, was delivering newspapers in her hometown of Copenhagen. She later worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant and butcher shop, and she sold chocolate at a candy store. As a young girl, Albertsen struggled with obesity and eczema, which resulted in bullying from her school peers, but eventually she managed to lose the weight and curb the eczema, after which time she says she was strongly encouraged to enter the modeling world.
