I am fully invested in contributing to national development through educational advancement and using the AATEIM as one of the means to do so. As the Vice President, I intend to apply my professional capability and work experiences to mobilise resources to fashion programmes and initiatives to promote AATEIM’s vision and its mission to support SALCC. That is, helping SALCC to deliver quality education that attracts students; ensure its services are accessible in terms of cost; and advocate for curricula and programmes that are relevant to Saint Lucia.
I am a 1982 alumni from the A Level College and have chosen public service as a career choice. Since graduating, my work experience and profession have been steeped in data and statistics. My doctoral research proposed the imperative for countries in an economic union, such as the OECS, to treat talent as a shared, yet competitive strategic resource and recommends countries to regularly undertake national talent inventory so that they can address the gaps that can constrain them from meeting national development needs.
Regarding experience in non-profit organisations, I have held the position of President of the Human Resource Professionals of Antigua and Barbuda for the period 2013 to 2015.
