Born and raised in Jamaica, West Indies, I attended Jamaica College (high school) and was valedictorian of the 1989 graduating class. While in sixth form at JC, (Jamaica has the British system) I was chosen to represent Jamaica and Jamaica College in the American Field Service Intercultural Student Exchange Program which allowed me to live and study for one year in Quebec, Canada.

Later, as a recipient of a Benjamin Franklin Society Award Scholarship, I was able to attend The American University of Paris. I graduated in May 1996 and currently hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Affairs and International Economics.

I am currently attending NYLS and will graduate in June 2003 with a Juris Doctor degree.

During my stay in Paris I became involved in journalism. As editor of The Planet (the student newspaper of AUP), I tried to reinvigorate the publication and increased its readership through a combination of controversial issues and eye-catching covers. I also worked as a copy editor for Scripta Politica et Economica (the journal of the International Affairs department of AUP) and as an online journalist at WorldMedia Network in Paris, France.

I am fluent in French and have a working knowledge of Spanish. I am currently a law student at New York Law School.

I am personable, conversational, straightforward, down to earth, fun and adventurous. I enjoy music, good food, fine wine, theatre, movies, travel, people and new experiences. I now enjoy the cosmopolitan environment of New York City and reside approximately 15 mins away. I have a holistic approach to life. I try to live healthy, and although I do not work out six days a week, (more like 0 day/week), I do eat and sleep well and balance work and liesure. I might be controversial at times but I am open-minded and accept no form of intolerance.

I hope this information as well as this website give you an idea of who I am and what I am about.
