What is your response to the claim that beauty contests are superficial?
A. "I most definitely do not think its superficial. Lisa Hanna is a black woman and she won in '93. You have many girls in Jamaica that have entered the competition, black, white and brown. I don't think its superficial."
What in your opinion is your best quality?
A. "My personality because when I go places and I see people they tend to get something. People get comfortable when they are around me."
How does being in the competition affect your career goals and how will it affect them if you win?
A. "It has affected my career goals by the fact that now I'm exposed to certain things that I was not exposed to before. When people enter the competition it helps them to grow."
What do you think of the addition of the Talent, Sports and Beach Beauty mini-competitions to the pageant?
A. "I think the competition is a good thing. It shows the athletic side of the girls and that its not all about beauty, it's about personality."
Which of the mini-competitions do you think you stand the best chance of winning?
A. "The Talent competition."
Name three must haves
A. "A successful career, a good relationship with fellow citizens and I must get married and have my children."
Why should you win the title of Miss Jamaica World?
A. "I have the intelligence, I have the beauty and I have a big heart. I think that certain ideas that I have may help Jamaica whether politically or not. I am willing to take the challenge."
