A passion for radio...
As a young girl, Helena was always interested in what was happening in the news, events around her and how it affected her environment.
​
She listened to prominent broadcaster Lorraine Henry daily, a Barbadian on-air personality. Even at a young age she was fascinated by her. In addition to noticing her distinct commanding vocal ability, she loved that she was the only female broadcaster on the air. She stood out on her own, and inspired Helena to follow the same path.
​
Her journey began the day she saw an ad in newspaper for announcers at a new radio station. Fully aware of her zero experience in broadcasting, Helena boldly sent in her application for announcer. She got the job, and the rest was history.
