We are very excited to announce we have a new full-time staff member joining us at BirdsCaribbean!

We would like you to meet our new Communications Manager: Tahira Carter! Tahira is a national of Grenada. She is an award-winning bilingual communications professional with over seven years’ experience in the media industry.

As our Communications Manager, Tahira will oversee BirdsCaribbean’s communications, marketing, and public relations efforts to raise awareness and support for BirdsCaribbean’s mission, projects and programs. Commented Executive Director, Lisa Sorenson, “Tahira has outstanding experience as a public relations specialist and marketing strategist and she has many related skills to support our work. We are thrilled to have her join our staff.”

Tahira holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Science from Cameron University and a Master of Arts in Diplomacy and International Relations from the Diplomatic School of Spain.

Passionate about the development of the Caribbean region, Tahira’s professional portfolio includes work experience in both the public and private sectors, using her expertise in the areas of strategic communications and public relations to effect change at a policy and grassroots level.

Most recently, Tahira held the posts of Senior Communications Specialist and Acting Head of Communications at the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, based in Saint Lucia, where she was an integral partner to government and regional agencies over the past five years.

Tahira is excited to be returning to her home country of Grenada as she begins work with BirdsCaribbean (officially starting December 1^st). Environmental sustainability has been at the forefront of Tahira’s interests, and much of her work at OECS. She is very excited to fully dive into this with BirdsCaribbean.

Tahira is also looking forward to learning more about birds, bird conservation, our partners, and the work we’ve been doing within the Caribbean. She commented that she is, “very excited to work with us and meet as many of us as possible in the weeks and months ahead!”

In her spare time, Tahira enjoys exploring her island home, hiking, bird watching, and scuba diving. She also donates her time and expertise by providing volunteer support to environmental conservation initiatives.

Let’s give a warm Caribbean welcome to Tahira! Welcome to the flock!!
