Message

As a Small Business Consultant, I advise prospective and existing business owners on business plans, pricing, cost reduction, and ways to improve productivity. I also conduct market and industry analysis to identify growth opportunities.

As Consultant – Central Services Unit, World Bank Portfolio of Projects, Commonwealth of Dominica, I supported procurement and contract management for the Housing Recovery Project and the Leveraging Eco-Tourism for Biodiversity Protection of Dominica. I developed and implemented a contractor assessment system that expedited contractor selection by 25%.

At the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force, I developed an Excel program for retroactive payments and employee remuneration that reduced calculation time by 75%. Earlier, as a Criminal Statistical Analyst / Crime Record Officer / Firearm Officer, I analyzed crime data and prepared reports to support informed decision-making.
