The 23-year-old added that while she was uncomfortable with her height, she eventually grew accustomed to it.
"Now, I would not change it for the world because I think it makes me unique and I stand out and everything," Brink added. "But I just felt so awkward."
Brink further said she embraced being tall and had learned to adapt, adding that her height no longer bothered her in romantic relationships.
