Shortest non-mobile woman Wildine celebrates graduating college and launching business

Today is a huge day for record breaker Wildine Aumoithe (USA) – she’s graduating from college!

The Guinness World Records ICON, who measures 72 cm (2 ft 4 in), is the world’s shortest non-mobile woman living and the shortest professional model.

And now, she’s added another string to her bow.

She’s graduating from Liberty University in Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design.

After four long years of studying, she’s embarking on a career as a freelance graphic designer and has launched her own website, The Wild Creative Co.

Wildine told us: “It feels great [to complete my studies]. Although the journey was long, it was all worth it at the end. But I feel like now I have more free time to myself.”

In a new picture shared with us, Wildine is seen posing proudly in a cap and gown from her university.

Draped in a navy blue gown with a red sash around her neck, the record breaker beams with pride.

And she certainly has a lot to be proud of after all those years of hard work.

At the end of last year, Wildine told us that she was looking forward to the future.

She said when we asked for her New Year’s resolution: “Graduate college with excellence: I'll be graduating from Liberty University with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design in the spring, land a post-grad job, launch my freelance graphic design business, return to modelling: manifest model in NYFW again and a campaign shoot.”

She added that she hoped to collaborate with more beauty brands, treat social media like a real business, travel like it’s a lifestyle, not a luxury and break another world record.
