My journey with the Central Bank of Barbados has been an incredibly enriching and rewarding experience. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to intern in the Accounts Department during my summer vacation, where I gained invaluable hands-on
experience in the world of finance and banking. During this time, I developed a deeper understanding of the critical functions of the bank and was able to apply my academic knowledge to real-world scenarios. The supportive and knowledgeable team at the bank guided me every step of the way, making this internship a significant milestone in my professional development. The leadership and colleagues at the bank have been incredibly supportive, providing an atmosphere where I can continuously learn, grow, and challenge myself.

Receiving the Kevin Greenidge Award has been a profound honour and a moment of personal achievement in my career. This recognition symbolizes not only the hard work and dedication I have put into my role, but also the values of excellence and
integrity that I strive to uphold in everything I do. It reflects my commitment to continuous growth. Being selected for this prestigious award has further fuelled my passion for pursuing a career in the financial sector and has inspired me to keep striving
for excellence in all my endeavours.

Overall, my experience at the Central Bank of Barbados has been incredibly rewarding. From my internship to receiving the Kevin Greenidge Award, I’ve had the chance to grow and learn in ways I never expected. I’m truly thankful for the
opportunities I’ve had to contribute to such an esteemed institution and excited for what the future holds. This journey has inspired me to keep pushing forward, striving for excellence, and making a positive impact in the financial world.
