About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Make A New Friend (Or Two, maybe 20?)

ABOUT ME

Well I'm a normal average Trinidian dude, except for when I'm not being a normal average Trinidian dude in which case I'm being myself. I do facilitation and mentorship work now serveral organisations. I started off volunteering with both the YMCA and the Rotaractors (Rotary youth club) where I did hands on work with infants and assisted in the development of programs and events that help build and showcase youth development. Bottom line I'm passionate about youth and business development and I love children :) Flip-side to that is I can be kinda childish at times but as I always say, Time and place for everything as I am also focused, self-motivated, goal oriented and very passionate about the work that I do. x]

PHILOSOPHY

Life's not about waiting for the dark clouds to pass, but learning to dance in the rain...
