Devina Daby was recently interviewed by TheCelebrity.Online Magazine and below is the Q&A session we had with Ms. Devina.
How do you introduce yourself?
Devina Daby: Hello, my name is Devina Daby. I am 17 years old and I am really interested in thriving with a modelling and acting career. I am currently a student at secondary school and I have chosen my future career as a dentist. My current A level subjects are maths, Chemistry and Biology and aim to be a model/actor concurrently.
How was your transition from childhood to adulthood and what are the bad and good things you remember?
Devina Daby: My transition from childhood into my teenage years has been extraordinary as I have developed as an individual and enjoyed seeing the world through multiple perspectives as I have grown. The good things I remember was the multiple plays I performed in during primary school. I had to play the star in the Jesus of Nazarath play and I can remember how I excited I was creating my own outfit and watching my mum sew shining stars around the outline of my outfit to make me stand out from the others. It was wonderful and I remember the atmosphere on stage which was truly magical.
Another memory was when I was really young around 5 years old,my grandparents came from Canada and we spent the best times together with my mum and dad. They would pick me up from school, always bringing me a sweet and as soon as we got home, we would play and watch TV. I remember making my grandma act with me, pretending to have a long conversation in absolute gibberish. After we would laugh so much that I then decided to dress up and wear as many clothes as I could and perform in front of them. The bad memories was probably when my grandparents left to go back to Canada. I felt quite sad, and lonely and I really missed them.
Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?
Devina Daby: Definitely the transition from primary to secondary school as everything is more serious since the decisions you make can really have an effect on the pathway you get in the future.
Trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and trying new things. I remember really struggling in swimming and hated going to these sessions but after a few months I started to finally enjoy it and completed all the stages and even completed rookie lifeguard stage.

I also really want to spread the message of self-care for ourselves and that of the environment. Besides, I would also like to promote the Royalties especially King Charles as I’m an avid fan of the Royal family as they are the best ambassadors for our country and they also command a lot of respect worldwide.
