WHAT IS YOUR CORE FUNCTION? Policy Analysis, Research, Project/Programme Coordination and Monitoring.
MY VISION FOR THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH & WELLNESS IS:
That the MOHW will increase greatly the access to quality public health care for all and to improve on the quality of services provided. It is also hoped that in the process of doing so, we [the MOHW] may create such an impact on the population that it will bring forth favorable behavioral changes in society that would in turn decrease the rate of NCDs.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT YOUR JOB:
It is definitely NOT boring and I do not do boring; new challenges are faced daily and that keeps my mind alert, my desk busy and me, motivated; there is always something new to learn, someone new to meet, something needing to be solved, and documents to lose sleep over trying to complete in time (laughs). I also enjoy my colleagues; truly, there is nothing better than feeling comfortable with your work family to make coming to work inviting and that adds to your level of productivity, dedication, and the will to be more.
WHICH HIGH SCHOOL DID YOU ATTEND: The BEST High school in ALL of Jamaica, that is, THE St. Jago High, Labor Omnia Vincit “Work conquers ALL”
FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY: I do not have a favorite but I do remember one special day in primary school my parents picked my sister and I up from school and surprised us with a trip to the beach. That was great, I wish someone would scoop me up to the beach now after a long heavy work day.
FAVOURITE COLOUR: I love bright COLORS, I have no particular favorite but I will always opt for Lavender, Mustard and Mahogany and just about any other pastel shade.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM VACATION: Travelling the globe with stops in Scotland/Italy/Switzerland for the history/scenery, Australia for the adventure and Vietnam/Thailand/UAE for the Food/culture.
