She said also had to work immediately to help support his mother, who is a Filipina. “So I really had to find a job. So that time, I was doing modelling, and I also worked as a cashier in a shop,” said Celeste.

Celeste said, “It was just downstairs, actually, where we lived and it was the shop where I worked as a cashier.”
But Celeste admitted that she used to be ashamed to say that she worked as a cashier She said, “You know, actually, there was a time where I was kinda embarrassed. I didn’t really want to show that side of me to others.”

On the other hand, Celeste Cortesi is now pursuing a real state license. “I’m doing real-estate course to get my real estate license. It’s like so perfect because, again, I will never do something if I’m not very passionate about it,” she said.
