The CTO Foundation allowed me to have the great opportunity to complete my final year of study.  This paved the way for my passion for events planning.  I am truly proud to say I am a step closer to my ultimate goal. 

Being a recipient of a CTO grant, I am able to accomplish great things.  It has aided me in becoming one of Jamaica’s best Events Planners, in the future.  It also shows that through hard work and determination I can achieve anything I set my mind to.  Opportunities are there within our grasp if we only have faith and believe in what we can do.  As a recipient in 2014, doors opened for me that allowed me to move in the direction of my lifelong dream.

I am currently an Events and Décor Assistant at Blueprint Consulting, where I am gaining tremendous experience.   My major responsibilities are planning and executing events, preparing budgets, generating and executing décor ideas and conceptualizing event décor.
