As a woman who has clearly walked a mile in her own boots, Ihrke has advice for women who try to model their lives after hers. While her advice simple, what she asks is easier to say than do. “Don’t ever stop pushing yourself, and don’t ever stop trying to get better and become a better person overall,” Ihrke told Mirror. “That’s how I got where I am today… I constantly work at improving myself in every aspect. If a little girl from Walker, Minnesota can become a Marine and also successfully model, then the skies truly are the limit.”
