From Brazil to New Brunswick: A new face on Saint John Police Force's journey
This is Part 5 in our series Welcome to Saint John, where we share stories of immigration as it grows and shapes the city. In previous stories, we've looked at how newcomers will fuel key sectors, including health care. We also profiled a cardiovascular surgeon at the New Brunswick Heart Centre who says his journey from India helped shape his life, and a mother from the Philippines who has been reunited with her children. There's a new face on the Saint John Police Force, and her path to the badge is unlike most. When Const. Keyla Nerys moved from Brazil in 2020, she spoke little English and had no local connections. Still, she came to see what life here could be, and stayed because of what she found.

Like I said, to be a police officer was always my dream. And be able to be myself,' she said. Story continues below advertisement Nerys was trained as a psychologist and human resources professional in Brazil, but had to rebuild her career in Canada. First, she worked in customer service, then launched her own medical aesthetics business. She says she felt the weight of missing home and the challenge of reobtaining her credentials. But through it all, her dream of policing never faded, despite the language barrier. 'Dealing with English — that's not my first language. So, I'd say that I need to put way more effort than everybody else. If I was born here it would be different,' she said. Now, she's part of the Saint John Police Force and giving back to the same community that helped her find her footing. To other newcomers, her message is simple. 'You're going to be fine here, as long as you're open to experience different things,' she said. 'You're going to cry, you're going to miss your family, you're going miss your country. But you're going to survive for sure.' For more on this story, watch the video above. — with a file from Rebecca Lau

52-year-old shares exact routine that keeps her looking 20 years younger
Nerys Middleton often gets mistaken for a woman in her 30s. But when the mum-of-one reveals she's actually 52, people are reluctant to believe it. She told What's the Jam: 'It annoys me when people say, 'You don't look 52' and I think, no, I shouldn't – I work hard to look the way I do. You have to.' The fashion influencer believes it's not just down to looks, but a few youthful habits that keep her from ageing as fast as her peers. She added: 'People tell me they think I'm in my 30s because of the way I am. I hang around with people in their 30s, so they talk about what 30‑year‑olds talk about, like Love Island.' Nerys is religious around certain parts of her routine that she believes keeps her young looks in tact, like wearing SPF 50 every day and avoiding the sun at all costs. She spends around £400 each month on vitamins, skincare and beauty treatments like CO2 laser facials. She has also been getting Botox in her forehead since she was 29. But she doesn't drink or smoke and avoids junk food whenever possible. However, despite all of this Nerys believes it's her mindset that has the most powerful anti-ageing effect. She said: 'If you think old, you become old. Most of my friends I met through work are younger than me and we get on because I have a young mindset. 'I spend a lot of time with young friends. We go on holidays, we go clubbing in Budapest. I wouldn't go away with people my own age; they don't like going out and partying. 'I think it's not just about looks, it's how you act. Because I've got younger friends, we talk about younger things and I spend a lot of time with them.' In terms of fashion, Nerys is careful to avoid the 'old-fashioned' trends she saw her mum doing as she grew older, like cutting her hair short and wearing florals. But she's also careful about sticking too closely to what 20-year-olds are wearing. She continued: 'Try and keep make-up to a minimum and see what trends are out there; see what other women are wearing. But don't follow like a sheep, try and think of trends yourself. 'Stay away from ripped jeans and ethnic shorts because they make you look like you're trying too hard. It's the balance in between. You can either look frumpy or look trashy. 'I'm trying to tell people about this balance that's in the middle that can make you look classy, sophisticated and young.'

'No one believes I'm 52 because Love Island keeps me young'
Nerys Middleton says people often assume she's in her thirties, but claims it's not just down to looks but how she acts that keeps her young Nerys Middleton has surprised many as a fashion influencer, often being mistaken for someone in her 30s despite being 52. She told What's the Jam: "It annoys me when people say, 'You don't look 52' and I think, no, I shouldn't – I work hard to look the way I do. You have to." The mum-of-one attributes her youthful appearance not just to physical looks but also to keeping youthful habits. Which make her seem younger than her contemporaries. Nerys claims that having younger friends and sticking to what they act like is a major factor: "People tell me they think I'm in my 30s because of the way I am. I hang around with people in their 30s, so they talk about what 30‑year‑olds talk about, like Love Island." Religiously adhering to her beauty routine, including daily SPF 50 and avoiding sun exposure, Nerys spends roughly £400 monthly on vitamins, skincare, and various beauty procedures, such as CO2 laser treatments. With Botox treatments since the age of 29. Nerys also has a disciplined lifestyle by avoiding alcohol, smoking, and junk food. But above all, she believes her young mindset is what's preserving her youth. She added: "If you think old, you become old. "Most of my friends I met through work are younger than me and we get on because I have a young mindset. I spend a lot of time with young friends. We go on holidays, we go clubbing in Budapest. I wouldn't go away with people my own age; they don't like going out and partying. "I think it's not just about looks, it's how you act. Because I've got younger friends, we talk about younger things and I spend a lot of time with them." When it comes to fashion, Nerys is mindful to steer clear of the "old-fashioned" trends she observed her mum adopting as she aged, such as short haircuts and floral prints. However, she's also cautious about adhering too closely to what 20 year olds are wearing. She added: "Try and keep make-up to a minimum and see what trends are out there; see what other women are wearing. But don't follow like a sheep, try and think of trends yourself. "Stay away from ripped jeans and ethnic shorts because they make you look like you're trying too hard. It's the balance in between. You can either look frumpy or look trashy. "I'm trying to tell people about this balance that's in the middle that can make you look classy, sophisticated and young."
