Anya represented Trinidad & Tobago at the 2008 Miss Universe 2008 held in Vietnam

The Port-of-Spain beauty was trained in ballet and studied in London and New York.

Anya says she learned to sew in four months with the help of a friend from Tobago. She credits the woman, identified as Miss Alleyne, with her success on Project Runway.

During the competition she told viewers, “Trinidad & Tobago is unique in its ethnic make-up because it is a country with people of all races. I am of mixed origin, mainly Chinese, Indian and Caucasian, and although my particular mixture is a minority, I represent the unusual combination of ethnicities that defines us as a people”.

She has a message to the youth of Trinidad and Tobago: "Follow your dreams fearlessly and anything can be accomplished."
