How would you describe your professional ethos?

My professional ethos is built on fully devoting my expertise, respect and support to all clients, staff and business relationships.

What three adjectives best describe you?

Enthusiastic, resourceful and dedicated.

In your experience, what is the primary motivation for people investing in Antigua & Barbuda?

In my experience, it’s their desire to enhance travel mobility and diversify their investment portfolio.

What lifestyle or business opportunities do potential investors find most appealing?

A number of potential investors favour political stability and the choices available for investment. However, for most, it’s not only dollars and sense; they love the idea that their investment can significantly impact the residents’ quality of life and positively impact the economy.

Can you share an inspiring success story of someone whose life or business was transformed through this programme?

A client of mine migrated to Antigua with his family, investing in the sporting infrastructure for their training. The children, top athletes in their fields, are now training for the Olympics, where they will represent Antigua & Barbuda in a category unique to Antigua, though not to their birth country, where thousands compete. They now have a chance to shine, and I anticipate this will enhance training opportunities in these sporting categories and give plenty of positive coverage to our twin-island state.

What is the most rewarding part of helping people obtain second citizenship?

The most rewarding aspect of my job as an agent is to feel the client’s joy when informed of their citizenship approval and, later, when they take the Oath of Allegiance and become a part of our nation. It’s usually a very emotional time for most citizens, who aspire to contribute meaningfully to the country via their professional skills or industry know-how.

How will major development boost interest in Antiguan citizenship?

An increase in economic and luxury development will garner more interest in the country as it is seen as an important investment selector of the overall investment strategy for HNW individuals.

What’s one thing you wish more people knew about Antigua & Barbuda?

I wish more people knew about the islands’ unique wildlife, such as the frigate bird sanctuary. Our sister isle, Barbuda, is home to the largest frigate bird colonies in the Western Hemisphere. Our people are fiercely protective of these lovely creatures.
