Muna, 28, was born and raised on the island of Jamaica. She earned an academic scholarship to attend Penn State University, where she received a bachelor of arts degree in French and a bachelor of science degree in biology, while minoring in international studies. She focused on international trade law at McGill University Faculty of Law, earning degrees in both common law and civil law. With a passion for world travel, Muna has studied abroad in France, Spain and Belgium, and speaks fluently in English, Spanish and French. An accomplished equestrian, Muna has also competed internationally in equestrian show jumping in Jamaica, Panama, Guatemala, France and Canada. She currently works for a New York agency that litigates family law matters. In her spare time, Muna enjoys dancing, learning how to play the piano and reading in French and Spanish. She says she should be the next Apprentice because her "background in international trade and foreign languages run in tandem with the Trump Organization's increasingly global integration."

"Success" can mean different things to different people; what does it mean to you and how will you know when you've achieved it?
Success to me means when I've given my absolute best and when my work has inspired someone else to aim higher and increase their faith.

Describe the toughest business situation you've had to deal with and what you did to solve the problem.
The toughest business decision I've ever had to deal with was when I was faced with a conflict between two business deals of opposing appeal. Conventional reasoning would have me opt for deal number one that was conservative and sure. Deal number two, on the other hand, was exciting, had a lot of potential but was very risky. I solved my dilemma by praying about my situation and trusting my intuition.

What lessons have you learned from past Apprentice winners or candidates?
From past Apprentice winners and candidates I have learned that things are not as simple as they may seem, that dealing with stressful situations in front of any audience requires character, and finally that it really helps to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes.

Why should you be Donald Trump's next Apprentice?
I think I should be the next Apprentice because my background in international trade and foreign languages runs in tandem with the Trump organization's increasing global integration.
