I seem to be living in series of 12.

Born in Jamaica, I spent the first 12 years of my life living 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. At the end of highschool my intention was to go into astrophysics but, in complete contradiction and 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 the humanities has found itself in my career managing digital projects that support community and humanitarian work.

My next ~12 years were spent living in Switzerland, Scotland, Vietnam and New Zealand – where 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, while figuring out where I wanted to live. With a chemistry I’ve 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.
