"These events to celebrate Jeneil, recognise her outstanding body of work, as well as her contribution to Jamaica and Jamaicans everywhere. This is no different from what we did to celebrate the success of others before her, starting with Kimberley Mais and Sandra Foster and continuing over the years with Nadine Willis, Jaunel McKenzie and others," Cooper said.
He further noted that Jeneil is one of a a number of models from his agency to be inducted into the Pulse Hall of Fame this year. The other names being called are Kimanee Wilson, Oraine Barrett and Nell Robinson.
Cooper said he recognised several winning attributes when he signed her eight years ago.
"Her beauty, uniqueness, humble, happy spirit and that indefinable X factor that makes someone a star," he said.
Pulse has brought Williams home for a special homecoming and, so far, she has been on a whirlwind tour that has included dinners, receptions, special visits as well as a media blitz.
Discovered in Pulse's Caribbean Model Search, in which she was first runner-up, Williams will be inducted into the Pulse Fashion and Beauty Hall of Fame in June at Caribbean Fashionweek in St Andrew.
