Hey! Im a Brooklyn girl with Caribbean roots in Trinidad and Barbados. Im a lifelong baker that worked as a pastry chef after college and then transitioned into the public school system. I love gardening and if money wasn't an issue I would spend my whole life talking to my plants and the honeybees. I also love yoga and carnival! How and when did you first start playing mas?  * I started in 2005 in trinidad. What carnival experience has been your favourite (and most proud) to date?  * Carnival 2005 for sure!

How and when did you first start playing mas?  * I’ve always wanted to play mas, however I never had the guts to do it in my hometown so I conquered my fear in 2017 playing for Tribal Carnival at Toronto Carribana. What carnival experience has been your favourite (and most proud) to date?  * My most proud/favorite carnival experience was the past Trinidad Carnival 2019.
