Miss Guyana

Candisie Franklin

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My maternal grandfather. He is a very principled, strong-willed, opinionated, and frank individual; he constantly enforces the need to respect other people's beliefs. My grandfather has taught me to demand respect just by the way I present myself and also taught me the importance of keeping my morality and dignity intact.

What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you (aside from winning your title) and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
The most interesting thing about me is my ability to perceive and adapt to persons and their personalities after having just meet them.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
My career ambition is to become an attorney-at-law, specializing in family or international law. Currently I'm pursuing my LLB degree at the University of Guyana. I plan to fulfill my newly won scholarship in Ecuador, South America for the next two years which will aid in my ability to speak Spanish fluently. Later, I plan to attend the prestigious University of London where I will complete my master's degree and the bar exams.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in Linden, Guyana, and I thoroughly enjoyed my childhood. Since I was the only child for four years I had no choice but to play with all the boys in the neighborhood which made me quite a "tomboy." Unlike other girls, I have a fair knowledge of tools and mechanics due to constantly tagging alongside my father who was then a mechanic. Later I was blessed with four sisters who added lots of drama, spice and love to my childhood.

List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
My most interesting and unusual job was working for a company in St. Kitts called Banana Boat Tours as its tour coordinator and office manager.
