Professional Memberships/Service

I am a graduate of South Tyneside Marine University in England. I have also completed my Master’s education in 1985 which led to obtaining a Class 1 Master Mariner Certificate of Competency. I am currently employed by The University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) and live in Trinidad.

Academically, I am interested in teaching, although during the course of my career, I sailed on a variety of ocean going ships and have worked in management level in European offices such as Geneva, Fribourg and Oslo. Currently, I want my career to revolve around teaching, which I fondly call "the art of transferring knowledge", for I believe in the power of knowledge to induce change personally and globally.

I dedicate myself to providing help to students as well as to professionals who are having a difficult time in choosing the right professional path. I also offer tutorials for students who want to learn how to succeed in life. I provide efficient lessons and exercises that help students develop their writing skills or even discover their hidden talents.
