Experience
SKILLS Research As an intern at the Central Bank of Barbados, I undertook a supervised research paper entitled “The Effectiveness of Government Expenditure on Education and Health Care in The Caribbean” which was subsequently published by an international publisher called Emerald Journals. While pursuing my undergraduate degree in Economics, I took several research courses such as Statistical Methods and Econometrics and most of my individual assignments required in-depth research and analysis. Similarly, my postgraduate degree consisted of Research Methods and other research intensive courses. Communication While interning at the Central Bank of Barbados, I presented my research paper at the Annual Economic Seminar which required the ability to communicate complex ideas articulately and effectively and sensibly and reasonably respond to questions.
