What is the craziest thing you have ever
done?
I’m currently taking Pole Dance Aerobics at
Flirty Girl Fitness.
What charity/ Charities have you supported
with your time and/or resources over past two years?
Most recently, I put on a fashion show (Urban Jungle)
in support of the Jamaica Foundation of Hamilton.
The organization sponsors a home for orphaned children
in Jamaica and gives aid to Jamaicans in Canada and
in Jamaica in times of crises. I currently work for
a program in Rexdale, Ontario called “Breaking
the Cycle.” We are a Gang Exit and Youth Leadership
project of the Canadian Training Institute. I also
had the opportunity to volunteer at the chum city
wish fund, packing Christmas gifts for kids.
What would be your “dream job”
in life?
Ideally, if given the opportunity I would love to
travel and host Gala’s in support of worthy
causes. I have a knack for hosting opulent affairs.
Name one personal accomplishment (in addition
to being a Miss Universe Canada contestant) that makes
you especially proud.
My current position as a caseworker with “Breaking
the Cycle” makes me very proud. This position
has given me the opportunity to be on the front line,
fighting to give young people a voice and an opportunity
that they may never have otherwise had. I’ve
watched young people make the kind of changes in their
lives that so many have told them they could never
make.
What is the most important thing you want
people to know about you?
I want people to know that I firmly believe in the
strength of a woman to be a catalyst for change. I
want most of all in life not to just identify issues;
I want to be a part of the solution. I want to be
an example of what one woman can do with determination
and unwavering faith.
What is your favorite movie, song, sport,
and food?
My 2 favourite movies of all time are Dangerous Liaisons
and The Game. My favourite song is Forever Mine by
the O’Jays. I’m not much of a sports enthusiast.
I absolutely love Thai Food.
What would you like to accomplish if you
win the Miss Universe Canada Title?
In light of the recent gun violence in the city of
Toronto, I would like to ensure that “Breaking
the Cycle” has adequate resources to effectively
run programs for Gang involved youth. I would also
like the opportunity to travel and speak to young
people about leadership.
A motto that has served you as inspiration.
Tact is the art of making a point, without making
an enemy.
