I was born on the 21st of October 1982.  I’m 5’ 9” tall, thin and stately, fair in complexion with brown eyes and black hair with brown highlights.

My mother and father raised me in a village called Zeeburg, on the West Coast of Demerara,.  I also remember my childhood days of climbing fruit trees, catching fish in the nearby trench, playing hide and seek with the children from the neighbourhood and running barefoot in the yard.

I remember how much I loved my pet cat fluffy and dog gypsy and I cared for them with much love and tenderness.

My family is made up of two (2) boys and three (3) girls, with me being the eldest girl.  At age five I experienced a terrible loss when my father, the breadwinner of the family, died.  It was so very hard for my mother to keep us going and from that time on, my future depended on what I aimed for, and so I worked toward the optimum, to achieve that goal.

 

I attended Meten-Meer-Zorg (East) Nursery School from 1984 to 1987 then on to primary level at the Sarsawat Primary from 1987 to 1993.  After being successful at the Secondary School Entrance Examination I then attended Stewartville Secondary School where my days were wonderful.  At high school I was engaged in a number of activities including sports. I enjoyed keeping fit and most of all modeling.

As a young lady I was always admired by the opposite sex, by female friends, young and old. As I grew older I was encouraged by all to become a model.

I am currently employed as a clerk at the Department of Education, Region #3.  Although the work there is demanding I enjoy it.  I am looking forward to improving my academic qualifications by attending the University of Guyana.
