Cliff Hughes taak to her of Nationwide. She sounded very bright, passionate and knowledgeable.
Can we get 100 more young folks like this lady willing to enter into politics and head institutions such as the JCF, the hundreds of Boards and Parastatals that Jamaican Citizens depend on daily?

It would be useful for a young reporter to have a sit-down with this lady and give readers an insight on her early years, assuming of course that this has not been done but I missed it.
As much as possible we need to 'bottle and sell' these success stories in a land where too many role models are criminal dons and foul-mouthed DJ's.
