There are many times in my life when I have had to navigate some very tough conditions. Luckily, I had great mentors and support that made this process less stressful than it could have been. During that process, I was able to gain insights into how to navigate, support, and lead people with success. Over the years, I have put this into practice and made it a part of who I am. 

I have a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Capella University, an MSc degree in Applied Psychology, and a BSc in Psychology (Criminology minor) from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. With over eleven years of leadership experience, I have worked as a consultant and as a capacity-building trainer for at-risk communities in Jamaica and facilitated training for educators in inner-city neighborhoods. I have also consulted for the Jamaica Red Cross in their initiative to update their anti-stigma manual. I have led teams through change and implemented stabilization plans in programs for a non-profit organization. I have also trained at the leadership institute to further develop the skills and abilities in management.
