 Evette
Creighton
(Formally Evette Fantroy)
2008
Miss Black Iowa
At a young age, leadership qualities were
instilled in Evette by her parents and
community. She quickly learned how to speak in
front of large crowds with confidence and pose.
Through the modeling of her mother, Deretha
Fantroy, father, Carl Fantroy, and step-mother,
Clementine Fantroy, Evette internalized the
importance of being involved in her community at
an early age.
After finishing high school, Evette began her
educational path as a psychologist at Kirkwood
Community College. After two years she
transferred to a Historically Black
College/University (HBCU), Virginia State
University in Petersburg, VA where she was
recognized as top 15 in her class. In
Petersburg, Evette remained active in church,
where she participated in Praise Team, the
Choir, and also served as the music minister
assistant. After two semesters, Evette’s
educational path brought her back home where she
finished her BA in psychology at the University
of Northern Iowa.
Currently mastering in Industrial-Organizational
Psychology at the University of Northern Iowa,
Evette’s ultimate career goal is to become an
in-house consultant for a fortune 500 company.
After earning her masters, Evette hopes to
further her education in the field of divinity
at Central Seminary to achieve her goal of
becoming an ordained minister. |
