The mentaverse excites me the most. Metaverse is a vast network of persistent, real-time rendered 3D environments and simulations that support identity, objects, history, payments, and entitlements, and may be experienced simultaneously by an effectively infinite number of users, each with their own sense of presence. The game in technology is about to change and it's going to start here.

Giving back to the community is important to me. For a variety of reasons, I believe in giving back. For starters, many people in the world's larger cities have a plethora of advantages that many people can only dream about. They have outstanding educational opportunities and so much more. Many people take so many conveniences for granted that the concept of not having running water or reliable electricity is unthinkable. Volunteering and assisting others can help you cope with stress, combat depression, and maintain mental concentration. While it is true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you will gain, volunteering does not have to be a long-term commitment or take up a significant amount of time. Simple acts of kindness can benefit others while also improving one's health and happiness. Contributing is one of the best ways to meet new people while participating in a common hobby. Volunteering is a welcoming way to meet new people, particularly if you are new to the area. It strengthens your ties to the community. It introduces you to people who have common interests, local resources, and enjoyable and gratifying activities. Some people are naturally outgoing, while others are introverted and find it difficult to meet new people. I want to give back o bridge the gap of my community but also show others of the importance of giving back as not only an opportunity but as a way of life.

To various people, "financial freedom" means different things. However, it is commonly interpreted as being able to live the lifestyle of your choice while managing your finances appropriately. To put it another way, it is having enough savings, assets, and cash on hand to live comfortably today and in the future. Furthermore, many people define financial freedom as having their money work for them rather than having to labor for it and worry about it. As a student, it simply means being able to maintain self-discipline and prioritize important tasks such as investing and saving. To make this happen, one must be able to use their degree and other resources available to them. I'm a huge believer in preparing and having a vision, and I believe that will help me reach my goals.

Writing has always been an important anchor in my life and I've always been passionate about Caribbean events, entertainment development, and communications.

After leaving Jamaica several years ago I wouldn’t have thought that I would be in the field of communications and sometimes life often puts us in a place of redirection when we least expect it. I discovered the field of communications through my academic and professional life. My undergraduate experience solidified in my mind the importance of communications and why it is important to have more persons occupy this field. It was important for me to know how different communication functions worked within an organization and how best to use that knowledge in aid of providing more effective customer service. The communications and digital landscape is forever changing and I would love to gain additional knowledge to be a game-changer and also further myself in this field. The mere fact that this opportunity was provided to me highlights the role it plays in not only being flexible but looks at the gravitas of the challenges we are faced by those who occupy this field locally and internationally. In 2020 we saw where most persons went directly from the office to working from home and many companies have stuck with this business model and increased their communications with teams a part of the new normal. In the global market in which communications and creative writing are on display throughout the pandemic, we see the need for greater communication and creative writing efforts in ensuring effective messaging is delivered but we also saw a big shift in how many companies now operate in the digital land space embracing new technologies as it relates to how day to day business activities are conducted through strategic and effective communicational channels. I'm happy to be a part of this game-changing creative field.
