With over 25 years of experience in community development, my career has been dedicated to empowering rural communities and transforming lives from the ground up. As the President of the Jamaica Network of Rural Women Producers (JNRWP), I lead a powerful movement focused on building a resilient and sustainable future for women in agriculture.
My journey began with a focus on grassroots development, where I cultivated a deep understanding of the unique challenges and immense potential within our communities. I have a proven track record of:
Strategic Leadership: Guiding organizations to create impactful, long-term programs that address the core needs of rural communities, from housing to economic development.
Economic Empowerment: Spearheading initiatives that equip women with the financial literacy, business skills, and market access necessary to turn their farming into profitable enterprises.
Advocacy and Policy Influence: Championing the rights and needs of rural women at a national level, influencing policy to create a more inclusive and equitable agricultural sector.
I am a passionate advocate for gender equality and sustainable development, driven by the belief that investing in women is the single most powerful way to build strong, thriving communities. I look forward to connecting with others who share this commitment to creating a more equitable and prosperous world.
