  T A Marryshow Community College

  Sept 2001 - Jun 2002

  Art Teacher

  I absolutely enjoy being an art teacher and inspiring others to explore what others have deemed a dying career. Art is my passion and sharing that knowledge with others has been a life goal. The job was teaching art history and different painting and sculpting techniques alongside Grenadian artist Gordon DeLamothe. Best part of doing this job was the students who see me years later and they chose careers as graphic artists, animators and they tell me they never thought it was even an option before they met me.

  Nathan's Jet Ski Shop

  Aug 2010 - Nov 2010

  Jet Ski Operator

  One of the best jobs I ever had! Renting jet skis to tourists for rides along the tobago coastline in the Pigeon Point Bay area. Job entailed obtaining sales leads along the beach daily, then directing renters to safe areas of coast in order to avoid coral reefs. Some days I would have to take renters out for a brief lesson before they can go out on their own. Required was operation and maintenance of craft I was using daily: pulling the 800lb crafts out of the water in the evenings with the other employees, washing it down with fresh water, refueling craft, checking engine.Best part of the job was being on a beach all day and having fishermen bring up fresh fish and lobster to grill on the sand in the evenings after a hard days work.
