Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
Mr. Olin Sha Coakley- Director of OSC Modeling & Talent School, he showed me the virtue of expressing oneself through the Art of Beauty and Fashion, you can free yourself and let your mind soar, while sharing the joy of inner peace with others.
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, I would say is being stuck in London for one week awaiting the pass of a major hurricane that passed through the Carribbean suspending all air travel...I was so worried about my love ones back home and country that all of the other vistors stranded, felt my pain and it lessen their grief for being stranded.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I am optimistic about my career as a Hotelier, to jump start my career I was fortunate enough after being crowned Miss Bahamas Universe, to be afforded the opportunity to work along with the Ministry of Tourism here in the Bahamas. While working in the Tourism Sector, one of the core areas of my duties will be in the Hotel Sector. So there goes my one year of pratical training prior to the completion of my college studies in Field of Hospitality Industry.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised on one of the small islands of the Bahamas, namely Nassau. Where Bahamians all see themselves as a part of one big family. Your neighbhor was almost equivalent to that of your very own family and the senior members of your neigbhors were allowed to scold you, should you complain and your parents found out, you got another whooping. My childhood was a memorable one, for I was always a daddy's girl and got away with a few things here and there...apart from that I will always hear my parents say "Manners and Behaviour take you through the world, you hear me girl". Smile.
List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
My most interesting job, was working at my family's restaurant & bar, where I worked in every capacity from a young age of 5 as a Cashier, Waitress, Hostess, and Cleaning Lady. The staff often complained about me being in the way, but I enjoy playing boss
What is your most unusual talent?
I believe being able to jog many tasks at one time is not very common, so I consider the fact that I am multi-talented a most unusal talent.
