I graduated from City University and was fully qualified to practice in the UK by age 22.
Soon after my qualifications, I returned to my birthplace, Trinidad, to work with a small optical company called Ferriera Optical. After a 6-year period, I returned to the UK, initially with a small independent multiple in Hampshire. I started at Barnard Optometrists in October 2000 and became a Practice Partner in February 2005.
In 2011, I did my qualifying examinations to be able to practise in Australia. (Long story!).
