What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful community engagement.

I am an accomplished executive with over 28 years of experience in business transformation and global expansion. My expertise encompasses a wide range of areas, including CRM systems and M&A strategies. I have a proven track record in partner relations and executive support across both third and private sectors, effectively collaborating with C-Level executives to turn capital projects into sustainable programs.

In my recent role as Senior Executive Assistant at the Office of the Former Governor General, I coordinated complex meetings and lectures, managing a budget of JM$2M and overseeing over 200 global attendees. My experience at Sandals Foundation involved leading community education programs and administering scholarship programs for underprivileged students, benefiting thousands. I am adept at driving strategic initiatives that enhance organizational performance and foster growth.
