Mimisa Alaivaa dedicated her success to her people.
Alaivaa received a call that she will be working on a nine-month contract on the MSC Poesia ship and was ready to depart last Sunday.
However, her flight was postponed until further notice after she tested positive for Covid-19.
Despite her travel complications, Alaivaa said she still cannot believe she is the first female in Samoa to be given the opportunity.
