About her St. Vincent & The
Grenadines.
About her other interests.
I have a deep love for nursing
and caring for others. It is
something that has been a part
of me since I was a child. At
present I am employed at the
Argyle International Airport as a
Customer Service Representative.
In the future I plan to complete
the Registered Nursing
programme and then further my
studies in medicine.
Advice to young ladies
who may look to her for
guidance. My advice would be
to stay true to who you are. Never
feel the need to change anything
about yourself, you do not need
the validation of others only God
and your guardians. Many times
we as women get carried away
with the media’s perception of
“a strong beautiful woman” but I
say this, true beauty comes from
within. It is the ability to accept
who you are as an individual,
where you come from and to be
able to share that with the world.
That is true beauty and strength.
Stand for what you believe in
and never give up. In the words
of Coco Chanel “keep your heels,
head and standards high”.
“It doesn’t matter who you are, where
you come from or what you can and
cannot afford, what matters is that you
keep believing in yourself and never stop
trying to make a difference.”

The Owia Salt Pond is the ideal place for
relaxation. Continuously refreshed by waves
cascading over the volcanic rock formations
that surround the pools, it feels like you are
bathing in an aquarium. Reef fish and even
coral formations add colour and life to what
is a unique, peaceful and very special natural
phenomenon.
The Owia Salt Pond is located on the North
Eastern Coast of St. Vincent in the village of
Owia. The two hour drive from Kingstown
along the Eastern Coast takes you to this
recreation site which occupies a fairly
extensive area of well-maintained picnic
grounds. It leads down to the sea where the
salt pond is situated. Traditionally, it has been
used as a therapeutic bathing pond.
Owia Salt Pond is a unique coastal feature
of geological and oceanographic interest.
Coastal rocks offer a partial enclosure from
the Atlantic Ocean’s waves and swells,
creating a “pool” of protected water used for
bathing.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is home
to some of the most spectacular sites and
attractions in the world from our crystal clear
waters to our lush green vegetation that
adorns the mountain sides, and of course we
have the most welcoming people thoughout
the Caribbean.
We are indeed the Caribbean you’ve been
searching for!
