She took ballet, tap, jazz and modern dance classes. She and her older brother were partners in ballroom dancing lessons, which came to halt when her brother decided that ballroom dancing was not for him. She also took private lessons in Tahitian dancing. She joined various local swimming competitions till age 16. She received gold and silver medals to prove her swimming abilities. In high school, she excelled in sports when she came out first and broke school records in Women High Jump Junior.
Kesiah is currently in her 3rd year in Health Studies at York University aspiring to be a Physician’s Assistant. She is inspired by her parents and older brother, who are all nurses. She works every summer at a bank to help finance her dreams.
Raised in a close knit and religious family, Kesiah learned at an early age not to be judgmental and dislikes stereotyping. She believes in equal opportunity and treatment for everyone. She also believes in sharing her blessings by volunteering in fund raising activities for the underprivileged. She gives them support and respect. She remains a good role model and a proud mentor for aspiring young models.
She loves to travel. She admires the exotic nature of Hawaii, the lifestyle in Italy, the hospitality of people in the Philippines and the clean environment in Australia. Kesiah hopes to have the opportunity to continue traveling and mingling with various peoples and cultures and to be able to contribute and participate in uplifting lives and spirits.
