Senior Human Resources Generalist at Barbuda Ocean Club, bringing people-focused HR experience and a background in labour relations.

Antigua and Barbuda
Message

At Barbuda Ocean Club, I currently work as a Senior Human Resources Generalist, after serving as a Human Resource Generalist. My Human Resources Management diploma from Humber College was a lifelong dream, and I see HR as central to helping organizations cultivate their people.

As a co-owner of Trek Tours, I handle day-to-day operations, guide hiking tours, and maintain the company’s social media presence. I’ve also taught Advanced Human Resources Management online at The University of the West Indies and taught Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources Management at Antigua State College.
