Niketa Barker at 24 years old is two years away from attaining her Degree in Medicine & Surgery (MBBS) from the University of Guyana however; this regal beauty is not all about the books, in fact she is a philanthropist, children’s advocate and an award winning model in runway and print.
This born and bred proud Guyanese is from the small town of New Amsterdam, Berbice where she was raised in an extended family household. Niketa gleefully recalled that there was never a dull moment at home. This family oriented nature lover, fashion and pageant enthusiast says she didn’t have an easy start in life, relating that she lost her home to a fire at age 15 then her dad at the age of 17.
A believer that such tragedies only makes you stronger motivated her to not only peruse a prestigious career but to also live everyday as her last with hopes that when she leaves this world she leaves nothing short of a legacy in her wake.
