I have lived in Grand Cayman all my life. As a mother and grandmother as well as a business woman I am intimately involved in the fabric of life that makes up Cayman. I am interested in everything which happens in these islands, and I have opinions on a lot of it. My background in government makes me a good resource to answer your questions. If I don't know the answer I will certainly know who to ask. The Freedom of Information legislation which came into effect in the Cayman Islands in January 2009 makes it much easier to obtain facts and figures of interest to all of us.

My particular interest is in education and employment matters, the area of tourism and hospitality, the lifeblood of our economy, and of course all things wedding related, my first love and new career. I have been involved in the wedding industry in Cayman for approximately 15 years. Our family business Cayman Weddings, has been in business for 25 years with over 6000 wedding ceremonies performed. I look forward to seeing your comments, concerns and opinions, and welcome you to Cayman's premier community portal.

Cheers
