Q. How does it feel to be a delegate of Miss Earth Guyana 2018?

It feels incredible to be a delegate of Miss Earth Guyana 2018, I'm genuinely honored.

Q. What is the best lesson you’ve learnt in your journey as the delegate of Miss Earth Guyana 2018?

The best lesson I have learnt in my journey with Miss Earth so far is that I determine the outcome of whatever endeavor i pursue because only I can keep me back as fear and faith have one thing in common they make u believe in something that is yet to occur.

Q. What is the one thing that keeps you going and inspires you to be the best version of yourself?

The one thing that keeps me going and inspires me to be the best version of me is what is at the end of this journey, not just the crown but the level of influence that comes with it. I will finally have a voice loud enough to influence a vast number of people and make a difference.

Q. We would love to know more about your advocacy for Miss Earth 2018 and what drove you to choose it?

My advocacy for Miss Earth Guyana is “New Agricultural Techniques to eradicate G.M.O's". That abbreviation stands for genetically modified organisms which are any living thing that had had their D.N.A or genetic makeup altered through genetic engineering. A lot of fruits and vegetables are currently undergoing this process but use overtime has detrimental effects. Research has shown that cultivation of these foods tend to create super weeds that are resistant to glyph sate a herbicide frequently used in G.M.O foods, they also their own insecticide and humans unwittingly consume this lading to the development of cancerous cells over time. They do not only harm the environment but humans also and I would love to see them totally stamped out because i care about our planet.

Q. How would you like to represent yourself at the national stage at Miss Earth Guyana 2018?

I would represent myself as a confident, kind, fierce warrior of the earth, a young woman who has heard Mother Earth's cries and have heeded them, a human who cares about the future of our planet and what future generations will have left for them to enjoy.

Q. Who is your idol and what values of theirs do you wish you could inculcate in your own life, and teach the next generation?

I would not use idol I would say role model and that person is my grandma. I would like to incorporate her level of patience, confidence and the unlimited amount of determination she has into my life. It's not that I don't have these qualities but I have not reached her level yet.

Q. If you could be invisible for a day, how would you like to spend it?

If I could be invisible for a day I would spend it rescuing endangered animals and in as much seminars as earth friendly seminars as possible around the world gathering information to make Guyana a green, GMO, litter free country so that others may follow suit.

Q. Would you like to share your most special childhood memory with us?

I have so many special ones but the most special one was the first time planted a tree, I got a feeling of joy and now that tree bears a ton of mangoes every season.

Q. What or who empowers you to be yourself and work hard every day?

The drive to go good, the feeling of fulfillment when I would have achieved a goal the overall excitement in seeing the end so near and the fact that someone is always watching and looking up to you as their role model is what empowers me to be myself and work hard every day.

Q. What is the one thing you can label as your guilty pleasure?

The one thing I can label as my guilty pleasure is raiding all of my grandma's fruit trees and making a jumbo smoothie with a cheese and tomato sandwich and sit on the roof staring at the trees and the sunset.

Q. We’re sure that this competition is another milestone in your life. What is that one thing that you ultimately want to achieve?

The one thing I want to ultimately achieve after all of this is over win the crown or not is a group of friends with one common goal save our planet, our home, our earth.

Q. If you are granted 3 wishes right now, what would you ask for?

If I was granted 3 wishes I would ask for an endless supply of wishes, secondly I would wish that the ozone layer would go back to its state before air pollution came into play, thirdly I would wish our oceans were pure again and I will combat the other issues with my endless supply of wishes.

Q. Lastly, is there any message that you would like to give to your fans of Angelopedia?

To my fans here on Angelopedia, life is short but you can make a difference your micro efforts will surely have a magnified effect. So join me in the cause to save our planet, our country, our home. As you do so acknowledge both your fears and your faiths because they both make you believe in something that is yet to happen.
