As a passionate advocate for neurodiversity, families, young people, and community connectivity. I am deeply committed to providing opportunities and creating meaningful change for the next generation within the community. Both my parents, Grandparents and great grandparents were born and raised in Jamaica, I am a first generation Diasporan, and my life has been heavily influenced by them all as positive role models. Growing up with Jamaican roots instilled in me I gained a profound appreciation for culture and my heritage, which continues to fuel my dedication to creating pathways for young individuals to be curious, explore options, and tools and opportunities to enhance potential and personal development.
