About the Creative
Hailing from the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, the Commonwealth of Dominica, within the secluded community of Castaways, grew Gina Shillingford, an outgoing, creative, and enthusiastic young woman with a strong passion for public speaking and media.
Her passion for communication began during her high school years while she was an active member of her school’s Communication Club, then during her time at Merl Grove High School’s sixth form, she participated in Burger King’s annual debate.
It could be assumed that her continuous practice in public speaking gave her the final push in deciding to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Media Communication and Technology. All of her choices were intentional, as her choice in the University of Technology, Jamaica, seemed almost instinctive, as it was her father’s and brother’s alma mater.
All these steps leading to her goal of becoming a journalist and eventually owning her own media company.
