My professional and academic background is in Environmental Science. My first degree was in Botany and my masters in Plant Ecology. I studied for both degrees at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago. I am currently in the 3rd year of my Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Ecology at the University of Florida. Prior to my Ph.D. program I worked for four years at the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute (CEHI), an inter-governmental agency, based in St. Lucia, which carries out environmental work in 16 Caribbean countries. I have served as an ecologist for a number of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) companies in the Caribbean, and worked as an Environmental Education Officer for the Pointe-a-Pierre Wild Fowl Trust in Trinidad and Tobago. I have also worked at the Center for Gender and Development Studies in Trinidad where I carried out research on Gender and the Environment issues.
