What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining clinical counselling with creative interventions and media, working in youth-focused, collaborative teams that value innovation and measurable wellbeing impact.

I am a counselling psychologist and performing artist with experience delivering mental health and psychosocial support to children and youth, and creating accessible psychological media.

I hold a Master of Science in Counselling and a Bachelor of Psychology (UWI St Augustine). I have worked as a Mental Health and Psychosocial Officer at Childline TT and as a Mental Health Consultant and Creative Systemic Therapist.

As Artistic Director of The 2 Cents Movement and Lead Technology and Media Manager at Reengineering Wellbeing Consultancy, I combine therapeutic practice with creative direction and technology to design programs, produce psychological media, and lead teams toward measurable wellbeing outcomes.
