ALL ABOUT MYSELF AND MY OTHER HALF

PHOTO A

Ours is a cross-cultural marriage. My Trinidadian wife Sharon and I met when she was a final year student in the area of English at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus in 1993. I, a Papua New Guinean student was doing a post-graduate degree in Plant breeding and Genetics specialising in Cocoa breeding. I graduated in absentia from the University of the West Indies in 1995 with an M.Phil degree in Plant Science.

We left Trinidad and Tobago in 1995 and returned to Papua New Guinea. Sharon began teaching English at Malala Catholic Upper Secondary School in 1996. She later left teaching to do a post-graduate degree in Arts from the University of the West Indies completing her studies with an MA in Liberal Arts, Literatures in English in 1999 and graduated in 2000. She has since returned to Papua New Guinea to continue her teaching career.

Upon our return to Papua New Guinea I remained un-employed from 1995 to 1997. I was then employed as a Research Officer with the Shadow Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock under the Office of the Leader of Opposition.

After this, I took up employment as Second Secretary with the Ministry of Mining for some time and later with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am now employed as Research Officer with the Office of The Rt. Hon. Sir Michael Somare GCMG, CH. I still hold the same position as Research Officer with Sir Michael Somare who is now the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea

I am considering switching careers in the near future.
