Her circumstances greatly affected her early educational achievement. By the age of fourteen, she still could not read. Her years at primary and secondary school were, by any standards, very difficult, and most times she was deemed hopeless.
With will and determination, the help and encouragement of her parents, siblings, and just one teacher who believed in her, she systematically achieved far above the expectations of her teachers and peers. Having overcome her early childhood impediments, she began working as a payroll clerk in one of the country’s leading methanol companies and subsequently attended the Valsayn Teachers College in Trinidad and Tobago. She was later awarded a Teacher’s Diploma and began her career as a qualified teacher.
Michaellee went on to attend the University of Westminster, where she obtained a postgraduate degree in Psychology and a Graduate Membership with The British Psychological Society. She was then appointed as a Visiting Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at the London Metropolitan University.
Having acquired a keen interest in law, Michaellee studied at The University of North London. There she obtained a Bachelor (Hons) Degree in Education and also completed her postgraduate law degree. She successfully completed the legal studies needed to become a Barrister at Law in England and Wales while attending the Inns of Court School of Law. She was subsequently ‘Called to the Bar,’ and is presently a member of The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn.
Michaellee is devoted to her work in the field of education, and over the years, her contributions have made a difference in the educational achievements of numerous children. As an author and poet, Michaellee is original, precise, and compelling. Her observations and expressions are genuine and insightful, characterised by her rich West Indian cultural upbringing and her integration into life in London, England over the last twenty years. Her audience will find this book to be distinctive, refreshing, and entertaining.view less
