Miss Demerara-Mahaica

Receiving awards at A-Levels for good performance. Being able to represent my country internationally for badminton tournaments

School of the Nations’: Citizenship Award Certificate of Merit in recognition of consistent high performance in Psychology, Sociology and for athletic ability. Director’s Award

I absolutely adore animals, and I appreciate their individual beauties greatly. I’m an international badminton player, and I love being involved in sports; in my tenure at Queen’s College, I was involved in 6 sports minimum at 1 time.

I’m going into this with the intention of becoming a better version of myself, not solely with the intention of becoming the next Miss World Guyana, however, I think I’m a very strong young woman who would show the world that Guyana has much more to offer than they may perceive. I believe I would represent our country well. I also have a lot that I’d like to say and do, and this may give me the opportunity to do so.

I plan to reach out to multiple organizations such as Space Gym, Shoe Heaven GY, etc. as an individual who is driven and strong in her purpose, and who will represent them to the best of her abilities.

For some time during my high school years, I personally dealt with a number of challenges which tore me down to a very unstable and dismal state. During this time, I found myself unmotivated to do anything, and thinking of ways out which were not the best. However, I turned to the use of sport to cope with my feelings. I used sport as an outlet to exert pressure I’d been holding up, and I used it to the fullest extent. It slowly allowed me to become more sociable, more motivated and less angry. I was no longer looking for an escape from everything, because I had found it in being involved in activities.

My campaign will aim to reach out to individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, etc. and suicidal thoughts – stemming from various origins and will aim to help them cope via participation in sport. Depression and mental illness is something that is very hidden in societies; it is somewhat a taboo topic. I intend for it to give victims an outlet via which they may be able to better cope, and eventually recover from the illness. I would hope it teaches them, like it did me, how to turn things around and take control.
