I seem to be living in series of 12.

Born in Jamaica, I spent the first 12 years of my life on a tree-lined hill with a wonderful view of the sea – supported and surrounded by strong female role models.

My formative years (approximately 12 of them) were spent in Canada where I completed most of my education. My intention was to go into astrophysics but, in complete contradiction, drawn towards the arts, I chose a degree in humanities – and in 2008, I completed an Honours BA in Multimedia and English. My passion for technological advancements and human-centered design has found itself in my career managing digital projects that support community and humanitarian work.

My next ~12 years were spent in Switzerland, Scotland, Vietnam and New Zealand. I had the opportunity to visit 35+ countries, discovering beautiful cultures, foods, languages and different ways of seeing the world: my time in New Zealand, working in public health and being surrounded by Māori culture, is something that will live forever in my heart.

In mid-2024, I returned to Europe and spent the year trialing various cities, building a network of friends, colleagues and cats – and figuring out where I wanted to live next. With a chemistry I often compared to that which you have with a partner, Marseille and I found each other. I have now settled in this culturally-rich city, and continue to develop my career, getting involved in new creative and social sector endeavours – and building my next 12 years.

If you’re a part of anything interesting, I would love to get involved. Get in touch.
