What I'm looking for

I'm seeking sustainable development projects where I can combine conservation stewardship, hands-on programme management, stakeholder partnerships, and visitor-focused initiatives to deliver measurable environmental, community, and commercial outcomes.

I've led conservation-linked tourism programmes at Saint Lucia National Trust, growing Pigeon Island National Landmark venue-rental revenue by over 200% and sustaining 10% annual gate-receipt growth for a decade. I negotiated heritage conservation clauses into venue contracts and delivered festivals, weddings, corporate functions, and international concerts without compromising site standards.

Across Nexus Tours, Sandals Regency La Toc, the Southern Tourism Development Corporation, and the Ministry of Tourism, I've managed operations, budgets, teams, partnerships, visitor programming, and heritage-tourism assessments. I'm motivated by sustainable development projects that turn conservation priorities into meaningful guest experiences, community benefit, and measurable commercial outcomes.
