Meet Miss British Virgin Islands – Shona Rogers

Miss British Virgin Islands - Shona Rogers

At just 19-years-old, Shona Rogers has already copped two beauty titles; Miss Teen British Virgin Islands and Miss Earth British Virgin Islands! This ambitious young woman has no room for stagnation as she continues to reach for the stars with her next stop at the Miss Jamzone International Stage where she plans on promoting the strong people of her country and the fact that BVI is the sailing capital of the world.

However, Shona noted that her country has many historical buildings that show the influence of generations before but these are not showcased on a major platform. “I would like to see those sites restored and displayed in such a way that the tourists can appreciate the BVI for much more than our beaches and hotels,” she pointed out. Rogers dreams of a career as a lawyer and is currently pursuing this dream at the University of Brighton where she is studying Business Law.

She’s made the Dean’s Honor roll numerous times and is pursuing a career in dentistry.
