Scholarly Interests and Expertise

I am interested in studies that promote social justice and equity. Through my academic focus and advocacy, I hope to raise awareness of and assist in transforming inequitable systems that disadvantage marginalized groups. As such, my research path includes:

• Critical participatory visual methodologies
• Equity, diversity, inclusion, and human rights
• Racial justice
• Black studies
• Rural community development
• Intersectionality

Did you know:

• I was born and raised in the lovely twin-island Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago.
• I served as a primary (equivalent to elementary) schoolteacher in Trinidad and Tobago for seventeen years.
• I served as the lead student-coordinator for the Black Lives Matter in New Brunswick’s Education Project.
• I am a member of the New Brunswick Department of Education Black Histories and Cultures Advisory Committee, the New Brunswick Francophone Education District Black Histories Review Committee, and the New Brunswick Multicultural Association Antiracism Steering Committee
