ABOUT

Simera R. Crawford

Founding & Managing Owner

I am passionate about opportunities requiring strong skills of coordination, planning, research, documentation, execution, measurement and analysis; for projects geared toward integrating environmental, economic and social development.

Along with being resilient and a firm believer in innovation through forming new concepts and strategies, I always ensure that I have clear understanding of desired goals and personalities involved to be an effective team member or leader. My dedication and interest in solving problems enables me to comfortably adapt and effectively multitask. I am also highly self-motivated, organized and value attention to detail.

Established in 2008, The Caribbean Environmental Management Bureau (CEMBI) – acronym pronounced “sem-BEE,” provides assistance in matters related to "Thematic Clusters of Sustainable Development as listed by the United Nations - (sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1565)."
