- Team GC | Island Girl
Introducing the newest member of Team GC, Island Girl, who will be sharing her views on the trials of life as a single girl, living at home with her parents, in the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad & Tobago. The myopia of it all – surviving on limited resources, dealing with an over-active partying scene, overcoming the trials of dating in a box, all while trying to some how, some way move ‘on to other things’.
Island Girl, is a tried, tested and true ‘island girl’. A 30+plus years native of Trinidad and Tobago, she holds a degree in Sociology from UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and a Master’s in Environmental Management from UWI, Cave Hill , Barbados.
A love of creative writing led her to jobs as a journalist at the Trinidad Guardian, Information Officer at the Institute of Marine Affairs and currently, a Communications Officer at the country’s National Gas Company where her portfolios have ranged from project communications, leadership development and internal communications. This has also led to an expansion of her responsibilities including event planning.
Island Girl is currently single. She lives at home with her retired mother, two brothers, one an upcoming dentist who should have been a DJ and the other a graphics whizz and two rather complicated dogs – one thinks he is human and the other thinks he is still a puppy. You will be sure to hear more about them!
A Libra, she continually seeks to balance self and life. She also loves music, reading and travelling. She adores the finer things of life and is diplomatic until you cross her.
Emerging from what she describes as a comatose state, and trying to regain a sense of self she felt she has lost along her life journey, Island Girl will share her experiences with you – work, home, trying to find a place to live, relationships, friendships, Carnival –spiced with a bit of fact, humour and sarcasm. All trying to, as she puts it, go ‘on to other things’.
A big GC welcome, Island Girl!
