Keira Inniss is one step closer to achieving her dream job thanks to the City of Bridgetown Credit Union and the Arnott Cato Foundation.
She is the 2020/2021 recipient of a scholarship facilitated in partnership by the two entities given to a student who is pursuing a masters in public health at the University of the West Indies (UWI).
In a virtual award ceremony held recently via Zoom, Inniss said she enjoyed helping others as a child and wanted to follow a career path associated with her passion.
“It is an honour to care for others and contribute to their wellbeing,” she said. “As a result, I enrolled in various programmes, starting as early as Brownies, to then enrolling in Key Club, where I visited geriatric homes, assisted in beach clean-ups and participated in health fairs.

Keira Inniss spent her childhood helping those around her. Her acts of service later influenced her decision to pursue a career as a public health professional.
“Growing up I was always eager to assist in any way possible, whether it be ensuring my elders took their medication on time to supervising children when asked to. It is an honour to care for others and contribute to their well-being,” says Keira.
She was in Brownies at primary school and went on to join the Key Club in secondary school. These organisations helped to foster her passion for philanthropy and to pursue an area of study where she could help those in her community.
