Message

At Coastal Dynamics Limited, I produced cartographic outputs for Environmental Impact Assessments and nationwide projects. I also collected field data and conducted spatial analysis to support environmental and coastal studies.

At the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology, I designed and implemented APIs for the Climate Impact Database, supporting improved data accessibility and user interaction. I also supported database integration and backend development for climate data platforms.

As a CCRIF Geocoding Intern at CIMH, I georeferenced and geocoded climate impact data for multiple Caribbean countries and developed a standardized methodology for large-scale climate datasets.

I'm currently a Legal Secretary at Virtus Chambers, where I liaise with clients, schedule meetings, and update legal documents electronically. My background also includes GIS instruction, research, and cartography.
