Educator and former broadcast journalist Dr Wanda Chesney nee Rohlehr has spent the last 17 years abroad simultaneously sharing the wealth of skills and knowledge at tertiary institutions she acquired in her journey but has returned home to give of her expertise through her year-old WERC Consultancy, as she believes her steps are ordered by God for the greater good.
A staunch member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Chesney believes all the jobs she had along the way were predestined. “I’m a woman of faith. My story is about providence and faith. It is about God’s hand in my life and about God leading me and I follow. It is about my ending,” she told Stabroek Weekend.
Chesney has been a secondary school teacher, a radio and television journalist, a project planner, and a tutor and lecturer at universities in Guyana, the Caribbean and in England. Her last appointment was provost of the University of the Southern Caribbean (USC) in Trinidad and Tobago (TT) where she was based for 11 years, before resigning to form WERC, initials for her names, Wanda Elizabeth Rohlehr Chesney.
