My journey in publishing began by collaborating with hotels across Negril, Jamaica, where I offered comprehensive sales and marketing training. Through this experience, I forged strong relationships with hotel owners who generously supported the launch of my inaugural publication, Negril Beat magazine.

This initiative thrived for a decade, offering profound insights into the vibrant culture of Negril, Jamaica, and delving into the intersecting realms of music and tourism.

During this period, I closely collaborated with esteemed establishments like Sandals and Swept Away, alongside numerous small-scale, family-run hotels. These partnerships enriched the content of Negril Beat, ensuring it resonated deeply with both locals and visitors alike.

My contributions to the local community were further recognized through innovative initiatives within the tourism industry. Notably, I spearheaded efforts to establish programs where tourism businesses contributed to a children’s breakfast program, underscoring a commitment to social responsibility and community welfare.
