About Us

I have worked 20+ years in various non-profit, banking and NGO organisations in the Caribbean, UK and Canada. I have a Masters in International Business and Management from the University of Westminster (London, UK) and a BSc. in Professional Management from Nova Southeastern University in Florida, USA. I come with 15+ years of management experience in empowering staff, designing and implementing programs for newcomers and others in the under-served population. The reason I joined the non-profit sector is because it is the best platform for me to pursue my passion in making a positive impact on the economic empowerment for 2 key client groups; newcomers and start-up entrepreneurs. Favorite motivational quote: “To whom much is given, much is expected.”

My expertise relies on assisting internationally trained individuals to reach their career goals by offering expert advice on finding the best way to obtaining their accreditation assessed and recognized in Canada. My background is in Career and Work Counselling, Marketing and Retail. I find great satisfaction when I see my clients succeed in their careers and occupations of choice in Canada, through my guidance. I bring over two decades of experience working as a counsellor and facilitator for Internationally Trained Professionals (ITP). The reason I joined the non-profit sector is to make a difference in the lives and careers of ITPs, which is something I strongly believe. Favourite motivational quote: "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" Wayne Dyer

I bring with me extensive experience as a Career Counsellor/Assessor/Case Manager and Financial Guidance Counsellor in non-profit sector. I am also experienced in working with Internationally Trained Professionals (ITPs), providing individual one-on-one support/counselling, employment and making financial informed decisions about training selection. I have a solid understanding of immigration issues in Canada and understand the current Immigration Act and policies. Some of my accomplishments include: interviewing clients individually to assess their employment situation, make informed referrals to community partners based on clients’ eligibility, developing and fostering relationships within the community, and building partnerships.

I have extensive experience as a Web Developer/Webmaster with a passion for computers and technology since my first Commodore VIC-20 at 10 years old. In the last 6 years I have specialized on the WordPress platform, which excitingly recently hit version 5.0. I’m a technology buff and always looking for the latest greatest tech gear. In my off time I’m a golfer, gamer, and snowboarder. I enjoy assembling computers and gaming machines and all electronics. I hope to serve your technical needs during this exciting process, and help you on your way as an Internationally Trained Professional. Favourite Quote: "The best thing about a Boolean is that even if you are wrong, you're only off by a bit."

While living abroad, I faced many challenges including cultural misunderstanding and language barriers. Thanks to the help of many kind people, I was able to live comfortably in an unfamiliar environment. I relate to the barriers faced by immigrants who are placed in a new country. As part of the Career Loans team, I’m excited at the opportunity to help Internationally Trained Individuals ease into the Canadian workplace. Being the Content Developer for Career Loans allows me to combine my passions for storytelling and helping others. My experience includes creating digital content for websites, blogs, and social media management. I am excited at this opportunity to contribute to something really special. My favorite motivational quote is: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
