She also attended St. Joseph's Convent in San Fernando.

1987

Robinson was "bleak and dangerous", stating that "there is a lot of lip service being paid to the idea of the upliftment of women in the society but that is all. Mr. Robinson is the problem because there is a gap between his stated position on issues, including women, and his actions. But the whole change process will not work unless there is proper participation by women."

Along with Grace Talma, she challenged the government's Policy Statement on Women which was approved by the cabinet in 1987.
