Ms. Kandiss Edwards is passionate about Spanish. As a result, she has spent almost half of her life studying the language. This passion has resulted in her attaining a BA Degree in Spanish with Lingustics from the University of West Indies. As a secondary school teacher, on a daily basis she shares her passion with students and hopes that they would embrace the language just as she did.

Ms. Edwards has a deep interest in Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental issues. Knowing that man is limited in their capacity to care for the environment even being unable to address or even remedy all environmental issues, she applauds the work of those who seek to protect the environment.

Serving as an editor for the HSE Quarterly has certainly satisfied her hunger in the search for knowledge in environmental, occupational safety and health, not just in Trinidad and Tobago, but the Caribbean and by extension the wider world.
