| Singing
remains a passion
for Karina and something without
which she would cease to be her true self. This was attested
to in November 2007 when she captured the title of ‘Kittitian
Superstar’, emerging as the winner in a national singing
competition.
Having set a goal of obtaining a first degree before age twenty-five, Karina
became a student of the University of the West Indies and worked fervently
to successfully complete under-graduate studies
in
Government and International Relations. Though this journey
was not always smooth, it resulted in the culmination of
a crowing moment in Karina’s life when before a sea of other
graduates and other supporters, one of which was her mother,
her name was called and she was handed her certificate,
the
written proof that she had indeed passed the test. Karina is now employed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, honouring her desire
of giving back to her beloved country and putting her knowledge
into practice. She developed an intense appreciation for
environmental protection and security in primary school and
continues to be a strong advocate for issues surrounding
this topic.
