Additional Information

My journey began on the vibrant shores of the Caribbean, where I embarked on an entrepreneurial adventure as a small business owner. Amidst the rhythmic beats of soca music, I found myself immersed in the pulsating energy of the local music scene, collaborating with icons like Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin.

As I honed my skills in songwriting and production, I traversed North America and the Caribbean, sharing my passion for music with audiences far and wide. Yet, amidst the melodies and performances, a new curiosity beckoned—an insatiable thirst for knowledge led me to delve into the complexities of mathematics.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of understanding, I embarked on a solitary journey of self-study, unraveling the mysteries of mathematics. Fuelled by determination, I made the leap to Canada, where I enrolled in university to formalize my education. It was there that I discovered a fascination for economics—a discipline that seamlessly blended my analytical prowess with real-world applications.

Through unwavering dedication, I pursued a path of academic excellence, culminating in the attainment of a Ph.D. in Economics. Specializing in multivariate time series models, my research delves into the dynamic realm of cryptocurrencies, exploring their implications and potential within the global economic landscape.
