:: About Niamah

True beauty is so rare in our times. With a world which is all flashiness and superficiality, sincere warmth and feminine strength seems impossible to find.
Yet with her soft-spoken grace Niamah Denbrook need only say hello and you realize that beauty can truly be found far beneath the surface of the skin.
In a life that exhibits amazing strength and enthusiasm Niamah has mapped a path all her own. As she says: “Life is a journey not a destination.” Fortunately for the rest of us though, she has chosen to share her gifts along the way.
Working at the Berkeley Institute, she is in a position to shape Bermuda’s future and is filled with hope for the Island’s tomorrow:
“I feel like Bermuda has a great future if we invest time in our youth. They are the future. There is so much potential in every child ”
Born in Bermuda 26 years ago, Niamah’s childhood and young adulthood spanned three countries but taught her that “no matter what circumstances life gives you ANYTHING is possible.”
Living in England for five years, Niamah returned to Bermuda for a few years of high school at the Bermuda Institute. But she was soon off again, this time to finish her secondary school education at the Highland View Academy in Hagerstown, Maryland. She stayed in the U.S to complete her undergraduate degree at Delaware State University, where she majored in Elementary Education.
But Niamah’s destiny was not teaching but counseling Bermuda’s youth. Completing her Masters of Education at Loyola College, Niamah is now a guidance counselor at the Berkeley Institute.
Not too many people have managed to stay true to themselves and say they really feel satisfied with their jobs. But by channeling her warmth and strength into guiding her students Niamah can happily say “I enjoy my job and love what I do.”
“When I was in high school I had an excellent counselor named Sheila Holder She really influenced me in a positive way and always was willing to listen to me. I thought that I wanted to make a difference in someone’s life the same way she made a difference in mine”
