BIOGRAPHY – TENILLE AUSTIN
MISS FIRST CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL BANK

She was born on 25 August 1987 to Ms. Irene Austin of Edinboro and Mr. Peter Ollivierre of Cane Garden, the second of two children, and the only female.

At age 5 she attended the Petersville Primary School, and commenced dancing in the form of ballet, including modelling. At age 7 she joined the Junior Dance Company taking classes in various types of dance and their techniques. Such dance types were ballet, creative folk, modern traditional; and eventually getting the opportunity to take part in the National Dance Festival. During this time, also, she became a member of the Girl Guides Association in the form of a Brownie, and attended her first international camp in Barbados. At Junior 5 level she showed early leadership skills in being the deputy head girl of the school.

At age 11 she entered the St. Joseph’s Convent, Kingstown. Here, she continued to develop her talents by joining the choir, the school’s steel orchestra and the Girl Guides group, which allowed her to travel to England and then onward to Sweden for one month on her second international camp. In February 1999, she decided to enter the school’s yearly pageant, Miss SJCK, in which she was adjudged the winner. Subsequently, she was a participant in the Literary and Arts competition in dancing, singing and choral speech. At Form 4, she joined the Junior Achievement program where she received the award for the top sales person of the year. She left St. Joseph’s convent with 10 CXC passes and moved on to the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College.

At college, she was involved in extracurricular activities in the form of Latin dancing. She was also an active member of the youth group in her church, which motivated her to attain the presidency of the SVGCC Latin Dance Group and leader of the St. George’s Cathedral Youth Group by her second year. Later she joined the Allegro Dance Company. Still actively involved in the Girl Guides Association, ranked as ranger, she was able to visit the beautiful country of Chile in December 2004 on her third and final international camp. She left the college with three A’ level subjects and General Paper.

She was employed at the St. Martin’s Secondary school for a year, teaching Geography, Integrated Science and Dancing. As a dance instructor, she assisted a group of students from the St. Martin’s Secondary School in winning the first ever Schools Dance-off Competition in 2006.

It is her intention to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management Studies at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus. This will enable her to fulfil her career goal as a Hotel Manager. Presently she is an accounts clerk at Island Wide Shipping Agencies Ltd, which is owned and operated by her father.
