Toshanna Allicock

Top Paper Award in Marketing Information Systems

I was born in Linden, in 1993. I was brought up in a small village by a single parent mother who sacrificed everything she possibly could to ensure my sister and I received the best education. I graduated as one of the top students from High School in 2010. My family has always been very supportive. I have younger cousins who see me as their role model. Their support means a lot to me.

​While working as a customer care agent at Digicel Guyana I developed a passion for marketing.  My fiancé advised that I find out about the ABE marketing course at Nations and the rest is history. ABE has been the best decision of my academic life.

​I now hope to develop practical experience in my field in another Caribbean territory.  One of the best things about ABE is that I have access to all the necessary resources to study at home or anywhere I travel if I’m unable to attend classes.

​I have gained practical skills! I love the format of the study programme. Theory is good but more important to me is that ABE helps me to be more practical whether I’m home or at work.

​My future dream is to study Civil Law. I hope to combine these two qualifications to own my own business and to use everything I’ve learnt to run a successful company.
