Bio: Lisha Beache – Miss JCI St. Vincent
I am Lisha Beache, an ambitious individual with a passion for making a difference in my
community and country. Born on July 16, 2004, I attended St. Mary’s R.C. School, St. Joseph
Convent Kingstown, and the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College. My
aspiration is to become a Criminologist and Computer Forensic Technician, and I am now
enrolled as a part-time student at the University of the West Indies, pursuing studies in
Criminology.
Currently, I am employed at Hinds and Wilson Chartered Accountants as a Junior
Accountant. Additionally, I serve as a part-time coach at the Dolphin Gymnastics Academy
and the Mustique Primary School. I enjoy dancing, being adventurous, listening to music, and
spending quality time with friends and family. My love for dance fueled my passion for
gymnastics, and over six years, I had the delight of representing SVG in many competitions
as part of the gymnastics team.
Leadership and community involvement have always been close to my heart. I was a member
of St. Mary’s R.C. School’s Dance and Track Teams, a Brownie, later a Girl Guide, and a
Peer Counsellor. Currently, I am the Vice-President of JCI St. Vincent. My experiences in
JCI have been particularly instrumental in my personal growth, and I can state with the
utmost confidence that they have shaped me into who I am today.
I live by my personal mantra: “Life is a beautiful journey.” I am eager to continue learning
and making a positive impact on the world.
Athalia Gloster – Miss FLOW
Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This scripture has
kept me motivated throughout my life’s experiences.
I am Athalia Gloster, a 20-year-old resident of the tranquil community of Peruvian Vale. I am
a proud graduate of St. Joseph’s Convent Marriaqua, where I attained 8 CSEC passes, and
later of St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College, Division of Arts, Science, and
General Studies, with an Associate Degree in Business Management.
With a passion for the aviation industry, I am currently employed at Argyle International
Airport as a Customer Contact Agent. I enjoy interacting with others and providing quality
service to all visitors coming to and from our shores. My work affords me the opportunity to
immerse myself in different cultures and customs, and most importantly, to promote my
beautiful country by ensuring each visitor is met with the warmth of our people. My love for
aviation runs deep, and I hope to advance my career within this industry by becoming a first-
class flight attendant.
I enjoy writing and listening to music, as it gives me the opportunity to express myself freely,
conveying a range of emotions that might otherwise remain unspoken. I also have a love for
pageantry. Capturing the coveted title of Miss Independence 2020 has made me more
confident in who I am, realizing that I can achieve my dreams. I am an advocate for love
loving others and, most importantly, loving ourselves.
Kewanna Hackshaw – Miss Lynch Caribbean Brokers
Coming to you from the lovely Union Island in the Southern Grenadines, I am Kewanna
Hackshaw, a 19-year-old with a passion for dancing, singing, swimming, knitting, and painting. I
am always eager to learn new skills, as this fuels my creativity and enhances my abilities.
Currently, I am a teacher at the Union Island Secondary School, my alma mater, and I am also a
past student of Buccament Bay Secondary School. From an early age, I developed a keen interest
in architecture. This interest evolved into a strong desire, leading me to study Architecture and
Building Construction at SVGCC. My next step is to pursue studies in Civil Engineering at
Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.
In 2023, I proudly represented Union Island in the Miss Easterval pageant and captured the
crown. I later participated in the Miss Carriacou Carnival Pageant, winning the swimwear
category. Now, I am thrilled to be part of the Miss SVG Pageant, eagerly anticipating the many
activities and development sessions that are part of the journey to the crown. Rest assured, I will
make my people proud!
Felicia Hector – Miss Insta Cash
Born in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, I am Felicia Courine Hector, a dynamic young leader
and an aspiring legal professional. My altruism and authenticity have helped me develop an
unwavering commitment to meeting the needs of others. My spirit of humanitarianism and
empowerment is founded upon my Guide Promise – an oath I swore three times as an enrolled
Brownie Guide, Girl Guide, and Ranger. This commitment led me to serve on various
committees at the University of the West Indies, including the Guild of Students Council and the
Vincentian Students’ Association.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in International Relations with a minor in Psychology and I’m on
my way to obtaining a Bachelor of Laws. Additionally, I have earned certificates in Video
Content Creation, Personal Branding, and Negotiation and Influence. My ultimate goal is to
become an attorney-at-law specializing in Environmental, International, and Corporate Law.
I am not only a proud Vincentian but also a patriotic Caribbean national who embraces every
opportunity to share my love for my country and the Caribbean. A voracious reader, I enjoy
novels, self-improvement, and historical books.
I aim to realize my royal dream by utilizing the Miss SVG 2024 platform to launch a non-profit
organization that serves the needs of the Vincentian people. This organization will transcend my participation in this pageant and my possible incumbency as Queen.
Alvina Pinder – Miss Grenadine House
My name is Alvina Pinder, and I am 19 years old. I come from a close-knit family that has triumphed through numerous trials. My mother’s resilience and tenacity have been a constant source of inspiration, teaching me the values of perseverance and love. I feel incredibly fortunate to have such a loving and supportive family by my side, making every challenge a little easier to overcome.
In my spare time, I cherish moments with my family and find immense pleasure in the captivating world of romance novels. I have a profound passion for art, which I express through painting, drawing, and crafting.
Creating art allows me to convey my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant
expressions of creativity.
I attended St. Mary’s Roman Catholic School and then Emmanuel High School Mesopotamia. My early education was marred by intense bullying, even by those whose job it was to protect me. Still, I persevered.
With a deep love for creative expression, I enrolled at the St. Vincent Community College DASGS to study Art. However, the academic pressure and social challenges became overwhelming, and I ultimately had to make the difficult decision to drop out. Despite this setback, I did not give up on my passion for art nor my aspirations for higher education in this field.
Currently, I work as an agent at Clear Harbor. I continue to nurture my artistic talents and remain committed to returning to higher education to further develop my skills and achieve my dreams in the world of art.
Zada Stephens – Miss KCCU
The name ‘Zada’ means ‘the fortunate one’, and this certainly defines my life.
I am Zada Bridget Stephens, embodying the acronym Z.A.D.A – Zealous, Artistic, Determined,
Ambitious. These words encapsulate my very being.
At 26 years old, I proudly call Villa my home. I am a makeup artist, passionate dancer, and
choreographer. Currently, I serve as a Loan Officer at the Kingstown Co-Operative Credit Union
while harbouring aspirations to pursue undergraduate studies in Economics.
My educational journey began at Kingstown Preparatory School and continued through the halls
of St. Vincent Girls’ High School, and the corridors of St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Community College. Each step has been marked by determination and passion. Early on, the
melody of piano keys and the graceful rhythm of dance with the Avenues Dancers painted a
canvas of artistic expression. As a Girl Guide and later a prefect, I embraced leadership with
compassion and resolve. Transitioning to tertiary education, I juggled CAPE subjects alongside
leadership roles as Cheer Captain and President of the Performing Arts Society Dance Troupe.
Each experience has honed my skills, forging a path of discipline and creativity.
Beyond academics, I am dedicated to charity and community service. I have championed causes
such as the F.A.M for Endometriosis campaign and am honoured to serve as an ambassador for
the Loud influencer program.
As I stand on the cusp of the Miss SVG pageant, I embody dedication and artistry. My creativity
and goal-oriented mindset will undoubtedly shine, making me a strong contender in this year’s
Miss SVG pageant.
