How would you describe yourself in three words?
Genuine, motivated, warm

Do you have a special or unusual talent? (what is it?)
This not so much talent but rather a personality trait, I have noticed that I am able to make genuine connections with persons almost as soon as I meet them. I find it incredibly easy to talk to people and within five minutes we are chatting like we are old friends.

Where would you most like to visit in the world and why?
I would love to visit the city of madrid in spain. There is a strong spanish influence in my country because spain was the 1st country to colonise trinidad so the spanish played an important role in my countries history. When I was younger I saw photographs of the city of madrid and I was fascinated by the architecture so I would love to visit to city to experience the sights, sounds and even tastes of the city.
