She said: “Growing up, writing was always a passion of mine and it helped me express myself—all I needed was a pen and a piece of paper to write poems and short stories. Learning how to write articles was important to me because I wanted to master the craft of print journalism but also broadcast as well. My dream is to become a foreign correspondent for CNN or Al-Jazeera news eventually climbing up the ladder to become an anchor at the desk. I know this road will be long and bumpy but I am willing to accept all of the challenges in order to make that dream come true”.
“As a young Guyanese woman who is striving to be successful in life, I hope to someday leave behind a legacy in the news industry as other phenomenal women have done…I hope to inspire all young ladies in our West Indian community to be proud and that the sky is the limit in any profession they choose to pursue”.
