I am 5’ 9” and copper toned. I just completed a Diploma in Public Communications at the University of Guyana.

 I was named Ali in memory of my paternal grandfather who was Muslim.  I am outdoor oriented person and the youngest of three sisters.  I hail from Beterverwagting on the East Coast of Demerara some nine miles outside the city of Georgetown.  While as a grown-up I can be reserved in the company of strangers, my childhood was spent engaged in pulling off delightful carefree pranks on my sisters; tree climbing , fishing and swimming in nearby canals.

My family now resides at Bachelor’s Adventure where I am caught up in weekly church activities such as counseling and outdoor youth activities e.g. camping.

I received my primary education at the F. E. Pollard Primary School on David Street, Kitty.  Before moving on the Bygeval Secondary School on the East Coast. In  1998 I attained 6 subjects at the CXC – grades 1 – 3.

My interests in pageants was aroused way back.  I remember as a little girl I always relished “dressing up”.  I could not resist getting into my mother’s oversized dressing and painting my face with lipstick.  When I as older I continued in this direction satisfying my urge to look pretty by taking part in school concerts, plays and plaiting of the May Pole.  I was also involved with some school sports, volleyball and circle tennis.  Modeling also became a big part of my teenage life.

 

At Bygeval Secondary School I ended my secondary school life by winning the coveted Miss Bygeval crown in 1998.  Winning this crown encouraged me to commence modeling classes at Eye Full Creative Modeling Agency.  I have since participated in the Red Cross Fashion Show and Remembering the Late Cheddi Jagan.

I have also taken steps along my chosen career path.  I worked briefly with the Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc. (GUYSUCO) in the capacity of a laboratory technician at its Central Analytical Laboratory located in LBI.  I have some experience in real estate sales and rental and I completed the two year diploma in Public Communication.  I am putting my communication training to good use currently in the GUSUCO Communications Unit as a Trainee Communications Officer.  This job enables me travel to different estates; meeting people of varying backgrounds and testing the waters at photojournalism.

My long term goal however is to become a lawyer and to this end I will re-enter the University of Guyana in September to complete my studies.

I was afforded the opportunity to produce and host “Youths in World Problems” – a weekly  half hour television programme broadcast on Channel 67 in 2002.  This helped me to engage other young people in discussions about some of the important issues affecting Guyana.  HIV/AIDS, Child Abuse, Crime etc. were some of the topics explored.  I hope that I will soon be able to actively help children affected by HIV/AIDS.

My motto in life is “Nothing Comes Without Prayers and Hard Work  My advice everyone is to make sure that some time in your life you just have FUN.
