I've worked in the print and broadcast media in Guyana for the past 15 years. I currently work as News Anchor with a daily newscast in Guyana, while working as the Guyana Stringer for Reuters and contributing to several publications in and outside of Guyana. I have a strong interest in climate change and health reporting, but I cover any topic. I have twice won scholarships from the International Aids Society to attend and report from their conferences from Toronto and Sydney, and I have also won fellowships to attend and report from UN Climate Change conferences in Copenhagen and Cancun. I have a passion for world cultures, foods and languages. I speak English, Guyanese Creole and a bit of Mandarin Chinese.
