Priscilla Brown Rolle has a soft voice, a warm smile, pretty eyes and a very gentle manner. You’ll enjoy meeting her as she performs her duties in Pinecrest as one of the new park service aides.

"A lot of people are drawn to me," she said. "They like talking with me for some reason. I guess I must be a good listener. Really, I’m just an ordinary kind of person. Some people, though, tell me I should go into modeling, but I don’t know about that."

Rolle will be working around the Pinecrest parks and be stationed primarily at Suniland. She’ll take care of the baseball fields, work in the office and monitor the parks to make sure they are a clean and safe environment for the people.

Rolle, 34, and her husband, Godfrey, reside in Naranja. There are three boys in the family: Perry, 15, Albert, 14, and Ian, 6. She is a native Miamian, born in the Kendall Hospital, and has lived in south Miami-Dade County for 14 years. She grew up in Coconut Grove, attended Miami Edison High School and, in 1992, received her diploma from the South Dade Adult Education Center.

Rolle also works part-time with Dade County Public Schools as a security monitor at Naranja Elementary School. She has been on the job there for almost five years and previously worked as a child care aide in a day care nursery.

"I love working with kids," she said. "I interact real well with them. They have a lot of energy, they’re always seeking information and they’re curious all the time."

Rolle said that when she’s not working she enjoys arts and crafts, and spends time drawing, painting and sewing. She also likes reading and spending quality time with her children.
