I live in a small villa surrounded with flowers and birds. I have my grandmother, grandfather and also my brother. This house is one where you find joy; the house is filled with love and music.

We are very happy.

What was the funniest/most embarrassing moment of your life?
The funniest/most embarrassing moment of my life: One day while returning from the beach, my granny decided to go to buy something from a shop. I had on a pareo and bikini. In the store the pareo came detached and I was in my bikini in front of all the customers. Everyone laughed and I left running to the car.

Since winning Miss Guadeloupe International, I gained a lot of knowledge. In the street there are children who need help, I think with assistance we can try really help these unhappy children.

Tell us about an interesting event you have attended, or a person that you have met.
Each weekend there are local pageants and I take part as a judge and help presenting the prizes. At one pageant had the opportunity to meet an acquaintance of the new regional president and hope that this will enable me to help some young people in difficulty.

To become Miss World 2004, it would be my greater joy, but there are so many beautiful girls that I do not dare to believe. I would do everything to at least finish in a good place. I would love to be Miss World because it will open so many doors for me. It would give me the opportunity to meet certain people who will be able to assist me in helping people in difficulty and give love. Also I would love to travel the world and give the message of Peace and Love.

Love and happiness in a world in peace
