event management

"Acquiring a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations at The UWI Mona Campus, Jamaica allowed me to fully embrace Caribbean culture as I partnered with other Trinbagonians to bring aspects of Trinbagonian culture to Jamaica. I began event management while living in Kingston, Jamaica and it was there my love of culture and event production blossomed. In 2016, I formally registered two companies specializing in both Events and Travels and delved completely into experience management. The driving force is to provide curated and personal experiences that resonated strongly with persons in Trinidad and Tobago, and across the regional and international Caribbean Diaspora. I am the full-time Creative Director of an evolved brand and company called Candy Coated Experiences Limited. Candy Coated annually hosts events and travel experiences locally, across the region, in New York, Toronto and Miami and has taken groups of travellers to India, Indonesia, Israel, South Africa and Tanzania.
