"UPEI's MAIS program encourages independence, critical thinking, and self-reflection."

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

My interest in governance has shaped both my academic and professional journey. I am from Troy, Trelawny, Jamaica and I completed a Bachelor of Science in International Relations with a minor in Criminology at the University of the West Indies. Growing up in a rural community, I saw many of the challenges that shape everyday life: economic inequality, limited access to quality education and healthcare, crime, corruption, and environmental degradation.
