While COVID-19 has hindered some of the wellness initiatives that we would like to move forward with, we are working on establishing protocols to ensure EDI principles are at the forefront of what we do in LMP.
How long have you been at LMP and what was your previous role?

What working achievement or initiative are you most proud of?
An initiative that I am most proud of was developing an OR utilization database for tracking surgeon utilization which assisted in increasing the departments overall utilization. This initiative was ultimately used to develop a surgical scorecard for the department.

What advice would you give your younger self?

What is your favourite place?
Turks and Caicos in the West Indies. When I get away I just like to go to the islands and relax on the beach with a pina colada. Last time I was there was about eight years ago. Hopefully travel will be in a much better place soon as I plan to go back to Jamaica on holiday. I’m just an island girl at heart!
