yshauna seeks and finds comfort in a “disciplined environment” … situations in which good order prevails. Throughout high school she took a disciplined approach to completing study assignments but also in her extracurricular activities where she was often a leader or team captain as determined by her peers. It was therefore not surprising that, at the end of her secondary level of schooling, Nyshauna seriously considered a career in the military. Specifically, she considered becoming an officer in the Jamaica Defence Force and actually took the first step towards this end.
Successes in her secondary school exams gave the Meadowbrook High School graduate a wide range of career options. It was while considering a professional career
in the Jamaica Defence Force that she became aware of options offered by the Caribbean Maritime University.
Nyshauna had not planned or even considered a maritime career. But it was CMU’s emphasis on high standards of discipline that piqued her interest. She applied, earned a Bachelor degree and, a mere 48 months after graduating high school, Nyshauna now sails the oceans on some of the most luxurious passenger ships in the global cruise industry.
How did she do that?
