Fun Facts

Every month, I run a 5k for charity. It is not a competitive race, but in my mind it is, because I love to collect the medals for souvenirs. I am also a stickler for healthy lifestyles.

About Me

I am from the beautiful Caribbean island of Jamaica. My heart resides there. I am also writing a book entitled, "My Sugar Island Home". Reggae and Soca are my two preferred choices of music, but I also enjoy different genres.

Experience

I am an adjunct educator at a college and I've been in the educational arena for over 10 years. My years of experience in teaching and learning enables me to be humble and compassionate,mainly to others with cognitive deficit.

Approach

As a child, comparing to others, my luxuries were few and my living was simple. I didn't have electricity, but at nights, i glared my eyes to the beam of light from my kerosine lamb in order to study. By contrast, I never aspire to be anyone else but my self and I only see "me" as my motivator.
