Martrecia Cherisse Alleyne, the first runner-up at Miss Trinidad and Tobago 2017, was hand-picked to represent the country at Miss Universe 2018 pageant.
This 28-year-old beauty works as Visual Merchandising Coordinator at the Ashley Furniture Homestore in Trinidad.
Martrecia Alleyne is a returning National Scholar and former Valedictorian for the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. Alleyne was born and raised in St. Augustine, but comes from a family of blended nationalities: her parents are Barbadian and her three siblings were all born in England.
Alleyne, whose dream of becoming Miss Trinidad And Tobago started when she saw Arlene Peterkin on stage at the tender age of five, loves writing, photography, fashion and visual design plans to combine her business acumen and current career in showroom design (Visual Merchandising) to create a residential and retail design company. Martrecia would like to use her platform to bring greater awareness to a cause close to the heart: Alzheimer’s research and assist by forming support groups for those affected by the disease. She also plans to promote adoption as an option in Trinidad and Tobago.
