Q:Where do you live in Anguilla?

A:I live in the beautiful village of Blowing Point, affectionately called Pointville.

 

Q:What do you like doing in your spare time?

A:I thoroughly enjoy exercising and cycling with the kids of Anguilla. Tim and I train and travel with the young cyclists, to compete in cycling events in the neighbouring islands.

 

Q:Where is your favourite place to go in Anguilla?

A:The beach! I enjoy beach hopping with my granddaughter, which we usually do twice a month. I also enjoy taking the young cyclists around the shorelines of Anguilla.

 

Q:What year did you start working at Carimar Beach Club and was this your first job in the hospitality industry?

A:I started working at Carimar Beach Club in 2008. Previously, I worked at Sandy Island restaurant but as luck would have it, I had to change from the sea and came to land.

 

Q:If you were given the opportunity to do it all over again, would you still work at Carimar Beach Club? Why?

A:Most Definitely! At Carimar we have the best team and I love how we grow together and accomplish all of our goals.

 

Q:What motivates you to come to Carimar Beach Club on a daily basis?

A:It starts with the pleasant and comfortable atmosphere provided by Carimar Beach Club. I do enjoy meeting new guests but of course I have a special place in my heart for the many times return guests that we have. They have become a part of our Carimar family!

 

Q:What do you think is the main reason why guests keep returning to Carimar Beach Club year after year?

A:The relationship that we have fostered over the years is the main reason I think our guests come back every year; sometimes twice a year!

 

Q:Where would you like to see Anguilla in the next 10 years?

A:I think that Anguilla is very charming the way it is now but I believe that we need to pay more attention to protecting our environment i.e the beaches, shorelines, wildlife etc. We should have more policing of our shorelines and have more nature reserves.
