AUBYN Foundation backs Tasheka Salmon in Miss St Elizabeth Festival Queen Competition

The AUBYN Foundation has announced its support for Tasheka Salmon, a contestant in the JCDC Miss St Elizabeth Festival Queen Competition. Salmon, a 28-year-old information technology teacher at Hampton School, is being championed for her dedication to leadership, service, and community impact.

Salmon holds a Bachelor of Education from Bethlehem Moravian College and is committed to equipping students with essential digital skills. Her community involvement includes participation in Read Across Jamaica Day, providing computer literacy support at Bethlehem Primary School, and volunteering with the Vineyard Netball Team. She has also completed insurance examinations and aims to influence educational policy in Jamaica.

St Elizabeth continues to produce individuals of exceptional character and resilience. Tasheka reflects the discipline, ambition, and service we value.

Aubyn Henry, executive chairman of The AUBYN Foundation, stated that Salmon embodies the values of discipline, ambition, and service that the foundation upholds. He also shared a personal connection to the competition, as his mother, Verna Wisdom Henry, was the only Miss St Elizabeth Festival Queen to reign for two consecutive years. Toni-Ann Gayle, CEO of The AUBYN Foundation, expressed pride in supporting Salmon, calling her an example of what is possible when talent is backed by community investment.

Salmon's personal philosophy is "Success is earned through the discipline of consistency." The final of the JCDC Miss St Elizabeth Festival Queen Competition is scheduled for Saturday at the St. Elizabeth Technical High School Auditorium in Santa Cruz.

Tasheka represents what is possible when talent and purpose are supported by community investment. We are proud to stand behind her as she represents St Elizabeth with excellence.
