I am an Assistant Professor in Practice at the Centre for Maritime and Ocean Studies (CMOS) at the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT). I practise problem-based teaching and learning supported by research and always strive to develop strong partnerships through collaborative projects. Presently I am the leader of the Bachelor of Science programme in Coastal and Ocean Management within the Marine Sciences Unit (MSU). I also teach courses in introductory and applied GIS and remote sensing in various programmes across UTT. My research focuses on the use of geospatial technologies for marine and environmental mapping and monitoring. Prior to joining UTT, I coordinated research activities at the Institute of Marine Affairs remote sensing lab. I have participated in many national and regional geospatial projects including one funded by NASA investigating the use of large-scale drones for mapping coral and seagrass biomes in the Florida Keys. *Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS) *Fellow of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (FIMarEST)
