Bio

I am a research assistant with demonstrated experience collaborating in a team setting and working independently, strict deadlines, research skills, and multimedia communication and promotion. Through working in academia and sales I have been able to hone my verbal and written communication skills. Other skills I possess include the ability to use the full Microsoft and Adobe creative suites, and French at a limited working proficiency.
Outside of work I have volunteered with various cultural organizations. I have had a leadership role within the Modern-Day Griot Project, a program offered to high school students through the University of Toronto, which focuses on heritage, culture, and higher education. I have also volunteered at the annual Grenada Day festival, where I worked as a production/ stage assistant, aiding with design, show running, and ensured smooth transitions between acts. Most recently I have been accepted into Black Women Film's youth intensive.
