Passion Projects
Cognitive Care Initiative
Founder
An initiative dedicated to optimizing brain health across the lifespan. Based in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, this premier institute serves Caribbean communities by addressing the challenges of a rapidly aging population. Program concepts include community events, educational programs, and holistic caregiver support. The ultimate goal is to provide comprehensive support for aging individuals and their families.
Rest & Restore Yoga
Founder & Yoga Instructor
Born from my own recovery after a debilitating car accident, this business brings together my experience with limited mobility, training in cognitive neuroscience, and interest in ancient Indian Vedic traditions. R&R's yoga instructors are specially trained to support clients navigating advanced age, cognitive differences, and chronic health conditions in an inclusive, trauma‑informed environment.
Sedition & Stories Book Club
Facilitator
My book club features works from international authors, historical texts by revolutionaries, and nonfiction science books I find personally interesting. The goal is to shine a light on stories often withheld from the mainstream — cultivating meaning and belonging in a world that seems to consistently disenfranchise those who seek justice and understanding.
