My name is Daunette Ward, I live in the Capital of Guyana with my husband and daughter. I have completed the Bachelor of Business Administration in Hospitality Management and have over 8-9 years of working experience in the administrative field.

It was always a personal goal of mine to complete my MBA. I wrote on my vision board and decided it was the right time to increase my knowledge and scope in the field of business. I believe the MBA would assist in me realizing my career goals as the topics listed through the course can open my mind to different areas of business.

Personally, I would like to learn more about leadership capacity and then move into more senior roles, where I can tackle challenges as they arise, with more confidence.

Life has become so fast-paced that there is not much spare time to enjoy especially being a wife, mom, and career professional. However, with the little time I can spare, I try to enjoy as much family time I can gain, either with an activity or movie night.

The three things I would take are my Bible as the word of God gives comfort through reading, food and water for basic survival.

The first thing I do is to take a step back and analyze the problem, understand the facts, list the possible solutions and outcomes, weigh the pros and cons and then make a final decision.

The biggest challenge was losing my 5-month baby through a miscarriage. The challenge was accepting there was a reason for the loss and doctors had no explanation for it. I tackled it by embracing what I felt and allowing myself to grieve through the process and comfort myself that it’s not the end.

There isn’t anything physical I would change at this point, as everything makes me the unique person I am. However, I would change the introverted (shy) side of me. I would rather be a bold, confident, and outspoken person, especially along the lines of public speaking.

As a child, it was always my dream to become a pediatrician. I love children and enjoy helping and nurturing them.

The last book I read was “The Purpose Driven Life” By Rick Warren & the last movie I watched was “Akeelah & the Bee”.

The person I admire the most is my mom. She is a strong woman and full of faith and hope. She can also be fearless and believes in God. No matter how hopeless the situation is, she never gives up.
