I have extensive international experience in Adult Education and Information Technology. I've studied at the University of Technology Jamaica as well as London Metropolitan University and have degrees in Marketing and Business IT. I have been a member of the British Computer Society since 2002. I have organised a number of Code Sprints and Pitch Preparation sessions. I have been a Pitch Competition Judge since 2011 and have judged a number of international competitions. I have sat on the planning committees for a number of international conferences, International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and EduVision to name a few.

I am an experienced business readiness evaluator and coach. I honed this skill in my present role at the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship Caribbean as the Entrepreneur Development Manager.

I am an entrepreneur and a supporter of entrepreneurs and the movement towards making it easier to do business in and with Jamaica.
