How would you describe yourself in three words?
Confident, beautiful, intelligent
Do you have a special or unusual talent? (what is it?)
Yes, modelling and speaking
Where would you most like to visit in the world and why?
Visit switzerland not because I heard it’s a beautiful country but because my father is from there and I believe a person should know or at least try to find out as much as they can about themselves which is inclusive of their ancestors etc; hence visiting my father’s home country I will be able to know more about myself because all strong women should know their history especially where life’s opportunities may be hidden.
What is the best thing about your country?
The best thing about my country is our beautiful lush rainforest where ¾ of it is still virgin and densely populated by many exotic and endangered flora and fauna many being exclusive to guyana that makes our country unique and special.
