Ms. Stacey Desiree Gumbs to be honoured with the SPBS Distinguished Alumna and Leadership Award at the 6th Annual Banquet held at the St. Kitts Marriot on December 26, 2016

By: SPBS, Press Release

    December 15th, 2016 -- Ms Stacey Gumbs became very involved in SPBS with their first Banquet and breakfast, while she attended Columbia University in NY back in 2011. She has also served the organization as a liaison officer, and single-handedly conceptualised, inaugurated and continues to coordinate the SPBS Mentorship Programme for Principal Awards Recipients and other deserving students at the high school.  Ms. Gumbs has been a true ambassador for SPBS on the ground in St. Kitts.

     

    Stacy Desiree Gumbs, commonly known as Desiree in her hometown, can best be described as an educated, hard-working, trustworthy and loyal individual, dedicated to development of self and others, and committed to her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. 

    Desiree received most of her primary and secondary education in Sandy Point. As a student at the Sandy Point High School, she excelled in many areas and developed an appetite for learning, sharing of knowledge and general helpfulness. 

    After leaving school in 1994, Desiree began her teaching career at the Sandy Pont High School. In 1996, she attended the Teacher Education Division of the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (CFBC), where she obtained the University of the West Indies (Barbados) Certificate in Teacher Education with emphasis in Secondary Education.  Following this she returned to her alma mater and spent an additional five (5) years helping fellow-Sandy Pointers to gain a secondary education. SPHS recognised her for her “unswerving integrity, dedication and yeoman service in education” at its 36th Annual Speech Day. 

    In 2003, Desiree entered the University of the West Indies (St. Augustine, Trinidad) to further her education. As an undergraduate student, she continued her drive for excellence, graduating among the top of her class in 2006 with a first Class Honours Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, with minors in Human Resource Management, and Gender Studies. Along the way, she picked up the UWI (St. Augustine) Faculty of Social Sciences Award for Best Student in Business Law and the UWI (St. Augustine) Faculty of Social Sciences Award for First Class Honours. 
     
    After UWI, Ms. Gumbs returned home and was employed at the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College until 2011. She actively and successfully pursed the Fulbright Scholarship which enabled her to travel to New York in 2011 to attend Columbia University. There, enrolled at the Teachers College, Columbia University, she read for the Master of Arts Degree in Social–Organizational Psychology. This she was awarded in 2013. 
     
    Returning to St. Kitts, Ms. Gumbs continued at the CFBC, where she was promoted to Senior Lecturer. Her role as educator expanded to include providing conflict resolution, counselling and mediation services to students and mentoring of teacher trainees. In 2015, Ms. Gumbs was called to higher service. She is now Personnel Officer in the Ministry of Education, Government of St. Kitts and Nevis.
     
    Her community involvements over the years have included membership in the St. Christopher Heritage Society/St. Christopher National Trust, Co-ordinator of the Sandy Point Public Library Summer Camp, volunteer Research Assistant with Elmes Communications and (currently) Secretary of the Sandy Point Cricket Association.
     
    Ms. Gumbs is the product of strong family values tied to a personal Christian commitment and upbringing which have significantly impacted her life, shaping and moulding her into the caring, trustworthy, intelligent and responsible individual that she is today.   
     
    Through all of her life experiences and impressive achievements, Stacy Desiree Gumbs has remained humble and well-mannered, with a desire to see others succeed.  She is undoubtedly a great Sandy Point and national role model and ambassador.
