About Client – Roxene Nickle’s Journey

Service is my passion, so I love connecting with people and making a positive impact, hence my three-decades-long career in media and events. I also enjoy charitable endeavours, travelling, exploring Jamaica and the world, learning about and experiencing different cultures and their people.
