In today's episode, I sat down with Jessica Davidson, a good friend and secondary school teacher here in Westmoreland. We had an intriguing conversation about the Jamaican teachers' transition from traditional face-to-face teaching to online teaching, as well as some of the challenges they faced, such as having to use WhatsApp as a teaching platform. We also discussed Jessica's background, from why she chose to be an educator to working at her alma mater and her philanthropic work with organizations like Cornerstone Jamaica.

This podcast was recorded on the restaurant deck of Travellers Beach Resort, which overlooks Negril's 7-mile white sand beach. So, if you hear waves crashing, people talking, or music, it's because we were in an active environment. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jessica.
