Melissa Darville

Melissa Darville BS, is the co-founder of Shiver Premium Ice Cream who locally manufactures sorbet and ice cream. Shiver merged the need of a healthier frozen dessert, with the art of sorbet making, and the cultural taste of the Bahamas. This entrepreneurial start-up showcased The Bahamas as a top 100 Global Finalist in the Entrepreneurship World Cup held in Saudi Arabia, November 2019. Shiver was one of 102,000 entrants in the competition from 187 countries. Entrepreneurship, passion and the need to help others has always propelled Ms. Darville, who previously co-owned a special needs school for 11 years, CMS Learning Centre. Prior to that she taught at the Catholic Board of Education, Dade County, Broward County and was the Assistant Director of Education at Sylvan Learning Centre in Miami, Florida. She is a graduate of Barry University, The Bishop Strachan School in Toronto Canada and attended Saint Augustine College. Ms. Darville   believes   that we are born with a divine job to accomplish. All trials, tests and lessons learned can be used to become the best you that you can be and to help someone else along the way. Life is not meant to be easy, problem free or perfect. We are meant to be challenged to evolve to feel all the emotions of life, love, joy, pain, grief they all have a place in taming and training our hearts, if we humble ourselves and listen to the whisper of our conscience. Wear your scars proudly, they are lessons. Possibilities are limitless if you seek wisdom and accept instruction. Live, pursue your dreams, pray and work for what you want.
