Miss Belize

Leilah Pandy

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My niece, Kimara, because she (her innocence) forces me to stop analyzing things so much and to seek simpler ways to solve problems.

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?
My heritage. I am Caribe, African, Mayan, Latin, British, and East Indian. These make up the founding ethnic groups in Belize. I find that I can identify with all the ethnic groups in my country.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I want to be a marine biologist. When I am in that environment, I am like a mermaid in water! Currently, I am attending the University of Belize so that I can realize my dream.

List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
Sales representative for Courts Belize, Ltd.

Describe your childhood home and living conditions. Were you raised with a large family with lots of brothers and sisters?
I was raised mainly in Belize City; we (my family) moved to Corozal Town when I was 11. I have a brother and two sisters, and it was always fun in my home. My grandmother's home was warm with love and her yard was full of trees bearing fruit.

What one word describes you best?
Earthy.
