More About Me:

It was once said that "the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams," and therefore I can comfortably say that what lies ahead is mine! As the recently crowned Miss BHS Talented Teen 2007, for me, " impossible is nothing!", and this is the mode of thinking that I have always promised to live by.

As a strong believer in the magic that can happen when unwavering faith and hard work are fused together, I would describe myself as an ambitious, confident and driven individual for whom not even the sky is the limit.
Being an honour roll student at the Basseterre High School, a dancer with. The Children's Dance Theatre for almost a decade, an imaginative draftswoman and an active member of the St. Kitts-Nevis Female Under 17 Football Team, one can certainly assume that I take great pride in my overall development.

Nonetheless, apart from the pleasure I take in expanding my horizons through goal-setting and reaching, I enjoy some of what I consider to be the simplest, yet the most valuable treasures in life: my belief in God, good health, a sound education, warm smiles and laughter and the steadfast love and support of my family and friends.

As a young person perceived as full of potential, I am often asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Thoughts of being a star football player, reputable artist and a successful business woman all flash through my mind as possible responses. But my answer is always very simple, "I want to be happy!" I have observed that, ultimately, some people wish they could live forever. I just wish to create something that will! Indeed, our truest life is when we are in dreams and awake.
