Pathways by Grenadian STEAM

Stephen Frank is a former national track and field athlete who proudly represented Grenada at the 2011 CARIFTA Games in Jamaica. He was also a key member of the Westerhall Secondary School’s inaugural Intercol Games championship-winning team in 2012. Despite his early success in athletics, Stephen’s career was hindered by several season-ending injuries, leading him to seek physiotherapy treatments in Grenada and the United States. His personal experience with injury and rehabilitation sparked a deep passion to help other athletes recover, inspiring him to pursue a career in physiotherapy. Stephen began his academic journey in Health and Physical Education at the T.A. Marryshow Community College (TAMCC). He later earned a scholarship to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he completed a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. This unique program allowed him to learn both Western and Traditional Chinese rehabilitation techniques, equipping him with a comprehensive approach to evidence-based rehabilitation. Today, Stephen works in the Physiotherapy Department at the General Hospital in Grenada, where he is dedicated to improving patients’ recovery through evidence-based rehabilitation methods. In addition, he actively collaborates with local sports clubs and organizations to promote injury prevention and ensure athletes have access to the best rehabilitation protocols. Outside of his professional endeavors, Stephen is passionate about cooking and works alongside his family at Franko’s Kitchen & Bar, a well-loved family-owned restaurant located in Corinth, St. David’s and True Blue, Grand Anse in Grenada.

That shaking you feel when you’re on a plane and it experiences turbulence? Or the forces at play when a spaceship re enters the earth’s atmosphere? Both are caused by very similar phenomena, and today’s guest has studied its causes and effects inside and out. Not into engineering or mechanics? She also knows quite a bit about how to find and keep a mentor, if you’re curious about that kind of thing :) Known in some spaces as the first woman from the OECS to attain a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Professor Liselle Joseph is currently an Assistant Professor with dual appointments with Virginia Tech’s Aerospace & Ocean Engineering department and National Security Institute. Her research focuses on hypersonic phenomenology using both experimental techniques and high-fidelity CFD. Before joining VT’s faculty, Dr. Joseph worked in industry, gaining invaluable research into current real-world engineering standards and methodologies, current needs and landscape of the community, as well as industry expectations for new graduates. Her most recent industry work involved a range of developments and research within the hypersonic flow-field. Prior to 2020, Dr. Joseph developed new compression system technologies for both commercial and military applications at Pratt and Whitney. Dr. Liselle’s varying experiences in her field adds lots of colour and practical advice to this discussion. We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!

What do you know about mental health? Better yet, do you know what options are available to you for discussing affairs of the mind? Even though the topic is still unfortunately quite taboo in our Caribbean society, it seems that more and more people of all age groups are seeking help with how to cope mentally in different situations. On this episode, Arlene chats with a young, local therapist about his unusual journey to the career (including an extended detour as a musician) and his experiences working in the field of psychology here in Grenada. Josh Hector is a licensed Psychologist from Grenada, and a proud Caribbean National. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies with emphasis in Guidance and Counselling from the Jamaica Theological Seminary, and a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology from the University of The West Indies, Cave Hill. He has functioned in the roles of Guidance Counsellor at Halfway-Tree Primary school in Kingston Jamaica, and Counselling Psychologist at a Barbadian agency called PAREDOS (which stands for Parent Education For Development In Barbados); out of which he was actively involved in school and community outreach programs. In Grenada, Josh is the Founder and Counselling Psychologist at Optimal Solutions, where he offers counselling, psychotherapy, teletherapy, workshops, seminars, and employee assistance programs. In line with his focus on self-development, Josh is currently pursuing his doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Southern University. He is also the treasurer of the Grenada Psychological Association, and an Executive Council Member-at-Large within the Caribbean Alliance of National Psychological Associations. Being a helping professional at heart, he considers it a blessing to interact with others, and share insightful tips to practical and effective living.

Managing your finances and building wealth is something "they never taught us in school". Well, we're gonna talk about it here! This episode is a bit different than most, in that we aren't focusing on our guest's 'career', but instead talking about how she taught herself about investing and developed it into a side hustle. This is your reminder that STEAM isn't just about school subjects and academic pursuits - it's about holistic development and empowering our youth and society to shape their own future, and finances is a great place to start! Kristina Charles is a 28 year old "corporate girl" who seeks to document her journey to financial independence through her 9-5 and education. She enjoys social media discussions on 9-5, mindset, side hustling, investing and altogether living a free life. Having grown up in Grenada in the Caribbean, she seeks to be an example and talk about all the taboo financial topics among young, aspiring adults. We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!

We hear a lot about the state of healthcare in Grenada but how many of us realize how big of a role communication between patients and their healthcare providers plays in that system? On this episode, Dr. Ramdeen gets into the importance of functional care teams for a holistic response to patient health. She also gets into the story of how she built her own physiotherapy practice here in Grenada and her plans for the future of our healthcare system. Dr. Marsha Nicholson-Ramdeen is a Grenadian-born Physiotherapist who graduated with a Doctor of Physiotherapy degree from the University of Melbourne in Australia. Her experience extends from working in Australia, Fiji, Trinidad and now Grenada, as the founder and owner of Spice Orchid Physiotherapy Services since 2017. After completing her specialization, Dr. Ramdeen returned to Grenada where she was employed at St. George’s University as a Learning Strategist and Workshop Coordinator in the Medical School program. In this role, she offered support to students through the Department of Educational Services. She was also a certified Basic Life Support instructor in conjunction with the American Heart Association. Since then, Dr. Ramdeen has transitioned to full-time clinical practice where she currently desires to expand her services throughout Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. She has a passion for community engagement and education through outreach programs as seen through her involvement in health fairs, career day presentations, and informative programs. She is currently an executive member of the Caribbean Association of Massage and Bodywork Practitioners Grenada (CAMBP) established in 2019 and is currently working towards getting Grenada registered under the World Physiotherapy Association.

This episode dives into understanding how businesses and industries develop and die out in certain regions in a very evolutionary manner. Dr. Ashton talks with Arlene about what we can learn from these natural changes and how we can use the information to create more sustainable business structures. We also hear how Dr. Ashton's career developed organically, both due to her interests and to simply going through the doors that opened along the way. Dr. Weslynne Ashton is an Associate Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology with joint appointments at the Stuart School of Business and the Institute of Design. She also holds a faculty affiliate (courtesy) appointment in the Armour College of Engineering, Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Ashton is a sustainable systems scientist, whose research, teaching and practice are oriented around transitioning our socio-ecological systems towards sustainability and equity. She studies the adoption of socially and environmentally responsible strategies in business, and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in addressing social and environmental challenges. Her research is grounded in industrial ecology and the circular economy. Her current work focuses on increasing sustainability and equity in urban food systems, and developing regenerative economies in post-industrial regions, newly industrializing countries and small island states. She was awarded a Jefferson Science Fellowship by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in 2018. She spent the 2018-2019 academic year as a science-policy advisor at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), where she worked with the Bureau for Europe and Eurasia on strategic planning, energy policy and energy efficiency programs in the Balkans and Ukraine.

Today, Kareem and Arlene chat about the experiences he had navigating life, more or less blindly, as an international student before discovering the world of remote work and diving in. They also share thoughts on Blockchain, NFTs and the Web3.0 revolution. Kareem P. Jackson is a realist, a stoic, a global citizen. A problem solver, product engineer and minimalist. An overthinker and overachiever. A Blockchain enthusiast. A curious mind, an adventurer and … we’re still on the fence about whether or not he’s human. His experiences and interests so far in life have led him to founding Unpluggd Media Group - an outlet for his passions and curiosities, a platform to share, communicate and build with the world. Kareem believes in living to learn and sharing to grow, so through the technology vertical of UMG - https://medium.com/unpluggd-digital - he develops the products that serve those roles.
