I am a retired civil servant with 38 years of experience as a civil servant in Saint Lucia. I retired as Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports. I have worked on sustainable development and environmental conservation issues regionally and internationally. I am passionate about working with vulnerable and marginalized communities.
I hold a BSC (Hons) in International Relations from the University of the West Indies (Mona), MSc in Planning from the University of Toronto as a Canadian Commonwealth Scholar and a Diploma in International Environmental Law from the UNITAR.
As a student of color from a SIDS at the University of Toronto, it was difficult to identify suitable examples. Consequently, the learning experience was not enriched. Being part of BPP allows me to advocate and solicit better opportunities for Black students to help create an enabling environment for them.
I am a Director on BPP’s Board.
