Profile

I am a resourceful and innovative educator with an academic career spanning over 20 years. My experience has afforded me with the opportunity to produce powerful learning opportunities through the use of advanced instructional methodologies, effective technology integration, effective curriculum and instructional design techniques and meaningful community/stakeholder engagement. I have extensive experience in the management and implementation of online training programmes, and I have also pioneered advanced placement courses in the physical and online classroom. I possess strong follow-through, administrative and time management capabilities and I have strong interpersonal and communication skills. I am confident, positive and energized by challenges.

I have served the Vocational Training Development Institute (VTDI/HEART Trust NTA) for fourteen (14) years in varying capacities - inclusive of serving as Distance Education Coordinator, Vice Principal of Academics and Lecturer in the Humanities and Education Units.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Teacher Education from the University of the West Indies and a Post Graduate Diploma in Online Education and Training from the University of London. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Educational Technology and Design.

I have twenty (20) years’ experience in the Public Education System and I have been teaching since 1995. I also have experience working in the IT industry (Business Process Outsourcing) both locally and in the United States.

I believe education should be a liberatory experience, resulting in the individual becoming or seeking to become his best self, and in so doing participating in societal transformation at best, and reformation at least. I believe technology is a tool that facilitates that liberatory experience and should be leveraged for maximum effect and affect.

My activities as an educator are guided by five important and fundamental principles:

Quality - Doing my best, giving my best

Integrity - Continually aligning my actions with my core values

Passion - A desire to see others experience the kinds of meaningful change in their lives and legacies as I have experienced through accessing quality education

Life-long Learning - A commitment to remain current and relevant in my expertise and the methods used impact my world

Compassion - A recognition that as humans we are in need of the care and understanding that mirror those described in the Holy Scriptures
