With her eyes set on one day being a Pediatrician and also juggling in the fields of being a professional designer and stylist, the 22-year old of Road Town, Tortola is a hard worker and a very consistent individual, who is determined to do her best and any challenge or task given.

Parsons currently attends the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College where she is enlisted in the General Studies course with a concentration in Biology, Computer Studies and Business Administration.

When not at school or studying, with her time managed properly, she works at Qwomar Trading.

Being involved in pageantry for quite some time, but backstage, Michelle promised herself that it will all change next time around.

“I entered the show because I chaperoned two other shows before, and I promised that on the third show, I wouldn’t be a chaperone, I would be the one to go and show how it is done.”

She added that because she is normally at the back, she has knowledge of how and what to do to be a winner. “I think I’ll be a good ambassador for the British Virgin Islands.”

Michelle told this news site that she is confident that she is going to win the show, because she is unique.

“Aside from everybody else having experience and the age difference, I think I am unique in my own way and very versatile in anything you put me in.”

Her favourite quote is “you can do everything in your trust; good things come to those who wait”.

The pageant is scheduled to take place at the Multipurpose Sports Complex on August 5, 2012.
