My Journey And Expertise

Growing up in Portsmouth, Dominica, two passions drove me: education and politics. These twin pursuits would shape my journey from a small Caribbean town to international diplomacy.

My quest for knowledge took me across three continents. I earned my Bachelor's in French Studies at the University of Benin in Togo, West Africa. As a Fulbright Scholar, I completed my Master's in Curriculum at Emporia State University in the United States. I then achieved my PhD in Education Policy and Leadership at the University of Maryland with highest honors.

In 2008, life came full circle when a former student - now Prime Minister - invited me to serve as both organizational leader and Ambassador to Venezuela, Dominica's first ally post-independence.

As a Senior Policy Advisor and Party Spokesman, I shaped government policy and strengthened international relations while engaging citizens through multimedia platforms. I distinguished the Dominica Labor Party's vision and published insights in major media outlets.

Today, as Dominica's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, I champion Caribbean interests in global diplomacy while continuing to shape policy and strengthen international partnerships. My role at the UN allows me to advocate for regional priorities on the world stage, building bridges between the Caribbean and the international community.

After nearly two decades working alongside global leaders, I've gained unique insights into what drives political success in the Eastern Caribbean.

My latest book, "The Eastern Caribbean Political Power Playbook: 10 Strategies Behind PM Skerrit's Success," offers unprecedented insights into Caribbean political leadership, drawing from my unique perspective as both diplomat and political advisor. This analysis reveals the strategic thinking and tactical approaches that have shaped modern Caribbean politics.

Pioneering the depths of Caribbean leadership excellence, my groundbreaking research spans over a decade, delving into the legacies of distinguished Caribbean leaders across ten sovereign territories. This unprecedented exploration has established my work as the definitive authority on Caribbean executive leadership, offering unparalleled insights into the region's political architecture and power dynamics.
