I began my career in community service as a well-rounded volunteer, engaging in initiatives such as Our Little Miss, Junior Achievement, Kiwanis, and Youth Parliament. My involvement in these programs equipped me with essential leadership skills and a deep understanding of community needs. Serving on the school council allowed me to advocate for marginalized individuals, addressing their challenges with empathy and determination. Additionally, I facilitated discussions around youth empowerment and community development. These experiences ignited my passion for youth advocacy, and that was just the beginning of my journey toward making a meaningful impact in my community.
I have continuously advocated for youth empowerment through various initiatives, earning recognition for my contributions. Notably, I was awarded the Boys 2 Men Support Award, named President of the Year, and recognized as a Next Generation Leadership Forum Awardee. I also secured both local and overseas titles in the Our Little Miss Scholarship Pageant Competition. My commitment to youth development is further reflected in my proud representation of the Cayman Islands at international events, including the Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting, Caribbean Youth Summit, and Commonwealth Youth Forum, where I have moderated discussions on critical issues affecting young people.
As Dean of CARICOM Youth Ambassadors, I am dedicated to increasing the visibility of young people by engaging with them in their communities—whether at pageants, sports matches, or volunteer events. My goal is to meet them where they are, fostering connections that empower their voices and aspirations. Looking ahead, I plan to continue this hands-on approach, ensuring that young Caymanians feel supported and valued now and into the future. I aim to build a network that champions their needs and ambitions, creating lasting change and inspiring them to pursue their dreams with confidence.
Forever that girl from West Bay with big dreams, my journey hasn’ t been easy, often taking unexpected turns, yet I find strength in God. I aspire to illuminate paths for those who struggle, reminding them that, like a flickering flame, their dreams can ignite into brilliant realities. I am committed to showing every child that if I can rise, so can they.
