About Me
I am a 1998 Departmental Honors Graduate (accelerated program) in Film and Sociology from Smith College, Massachusets, USA. While in college I produced and scripted several pieces for broadcast on community television and PBS, as well as a critically appraised short film. My work in multimedia taught me the importance of using different modes of conveying information for maximum retention. A skill that I incorporated in my life coaching pratice until recently (due to health issues and a car accident
)
Upon graduation I worked for one year in software development in Connecticut. With the skills that I developed in that position I returned to my native Trinidad a year later and launched several successful endeavours between 1999 and 2004:
?˘‚Ǩ¬˘ Trinidad-Online.org (a cultural web portal) which was featured, along with its creator, in the book ?˘‚Ǩ?ěEthnography and the Internet?˘‚Ǩ¬ů
?˘‚Ǩ¬˘ De Rumshop Lime (for many years the largest Trinidadian chat community on the Internet and still very active)
?˘‚Ǩ¬˘ Kalypso, a self-published political publication
?˘‚Ǩ¬˘ Taurus Designs (a freelance marketing, copywriting, graphic design business)
?˘‚Ǩ¬˘ Underwire a critically acclaimed Trinidad and Caribbean music internet radio station which was featured in the book ?˘‚Ǩ?ěRough Guide To Internet Radio”.
In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking (duh!), developing aromatherapy treatments and products, as well as scriptwriting.
