Professional Development has always been at the forefront of my goals. The workshops and training programs combined with continuous on-the-job training has helped me to carry out my duties by providing guidance on procurement and project management matters to Ministries, Statutory Bodies, and other Public bodies for effective project and business decisions.”
“With this appointment comes great responsibility, but then again this is also a grand opportunity to demonstrate all that I have learned and how capable I am by making meaningful contributions to the organization’s strategic goals. I thank God for this opportunity. I thank family and friends for their support and the management in the Office of the Deputy Governor which has played a monumental role in preparing me for this new challenge in my professional development. It is indeed an honour to have such confidence placed in me. I pledge that I will continue working for the success of this department and by extension, the Turks and Caicos Islands Government and its entities.”
