I've been starting and running businesses since I was 16

Somewhere in my genes are DNA markers ‘W’ for the workaholic and ‘e’ for entrepreneurship. I love fulfilling needs, solving problems and generally creating value for others. So, I’m figuring out how to optimize work-life for the future, maximizing impact without sacrificing well-being. I founded Visio HQ (Jamaica) and Visio Group International to multiply my capability and bring others along on the journey. Read more about my Founders Story and Visio’s work here.

Discovering coaching and mentorship

It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up; I finally figured it out when I turned 30. For about five years, I did quite a bit of personal development work, which transformed my perspective on purpose, and how I could serve others and be a leader in the world as an entrepreneur. This life-changing experience inspired me to help others do the same, so I joined Pilea, an awesome coaching company for the startup community. In my practice, I help visionaries cultivate well-being to maximize their impact.

teaching and research

I am a doctoral scholar in transformational leadership at BGU and a lecturer of psychology and research at IUC. I study the psychology of working and its implications for thriving in the Caribbean and then use these insights to help transformational leaders increase their impact, enable organizational effectiveness, and achieve business agility. As a teacher, I aimed to facilitate discovery and shared learning with students, encouraging lessons beyond credits and credentials, expanding knowledge, building competencies, and advancing personal growth.

I've worked with 2000+ leaders globally

From talent development to navigating the leadership pipeline and starting your own company, I’m super excited to partner with you to build your vision!
