I graduated from the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine with a B.A. in English and Spanish. As a practising teacher of mainly Spanish at the secondary school level I completed a postgraduate diploma in education and a M.Ed. in Teacher Education at U.W.I., St Augustine. I served for a short while as Acting Vice Principal of a church affiliated secondary school. I graduated with a Ph.D in Education from the University of Sheffield after which I spent a year in an administrative capacity at a tertiary institution, and then commenced my current career as lecturer at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. My main area of pedagogical engagement is Foreign Language education. In addition to that focus, my other research interest is Micropolitics.
I am also involved in the teaching of Spanish to adults, and in the evaluation of learning materials for the Ministry of Education.
