I admire the Most Honourable Portia Simpson-Miller,
Prime Minister of Jamaica and former Minister of Local Government, Community Development and Sports. I admire her strength, confidence and determination in seeking to make her aspirations to make Jamaica a better place a reality. Her strong belief in God has made her smile in the face of adversities. I also respect the way in which she had excelled in the political arena as a woman who now proudly take her stance as Jamaica’s first female Prime Minister.

I will have already completed my bachelors degree n
Business Administration and in the process of pursuing my Masters Degree in Management Consulting; on my way to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
