Born and raised in The Bahamas, I cultivated a profound affinity for the ocean, inspiring my career trajectory from an early age. I have had the opportunity to volunteer and work with many diverse organizations and communities throughout my 25-year career. Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate studying organizational leadership at Southeastern University. Additionally, I am the proprietor of Wild Spark Consulting, a consulting business dedicated to igniting and cultivating leadership. Furthermore, I am honored to serve as a Coexistence Fellow with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. I am privileged to contribute my expertise as a Vermilion Sea Institute and Ecology Project International board member. I serve on the advisory council for A Rocha USA and Ecochallenge.org. My academic credentials consist of a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology and a Master of Arts in Biology obtained through the Global Field Program of Miami University. A few of my favorite things are growing in my faith, spending time with beautiful family, traveling the world, dancing to good music, and making new friends!
