Roberts’ journey in pageantry 

Roberts’ journey in the spotlight began in 2007 when she joined the ranks of the “Fabulous 15” in the Miss Bahamas World competition. 

Competing as Miss Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas, she was known for her striking beauty, unassuming nature, and the ‘Island Gal’ charm that earned her a spot in the Top 10. 

Her service to the community 

Michelle Malcolm, the President of the Miss Bahamas Organisation (MBO), expressed deep shock and sorrow over Roberts’ passing. 

Reflecting on her legacy, Malcolm emphasized how Roberts embodied the core values of MBO, particularly the motto “beauty with a purpose.” 

Even years after the competition, Roberts dedicated herself to serving the Bimini community, promoting healthy living, and working towards the betterment of her island.
