She is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Regal State of Health Consultancy, a boutique consulting firm that designs culturally rooted public health solutions for a healthier, more dignified Caribbean region.

Her expertise in climate work is guided by the One Health approach, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of the health and well-being of humans, animals, and the environment. It highlights that changes in one area influence the others.

This knowledge is vital for mental health professionals so they can offer holistic patient care and also advocate for systemic changes to address climate impacts.
