I am now retired after working as a civil servant for almost 40 years. I last served as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Justice and before that for many years in the Ministry of Education. After retiring, I am working with St. Joseph University of Engineering and Technology on special duties.

I have visited the US twice in the past few years. I went to Atlanta [Georgia] to the Andrew Young Institute of Policy Studies and then proceeded to North Carolina [Raleigh] to the State University. In September, 2012 I went to San Diego for a conference on standards. It is a shame that I couldn't come to UMASS. [9-13]
