“I am humbled and grateful to God for this opportunity to serve within the Turks and Caicos Islands Public Service as the Deputy Chief Environmental Health Officer (Providenciales). I would like to express gratitude to my family, friends and church family for their continued support.
In approaching my new role, I am guided by Colossians 3:23, “and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men”. I am excited to do my best in this position and make a positive impact. I eagerly anticipate playing a part in furthering the Environment Health Department’s mission, which is to safeguard and improve the health and well-being of the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”
Deputy Governor and Head of the Turks and Caicos Islands Public Service Her Excellency Anya Williams in extending congratulatory remarks to Ms. Jones stated:
“It gives me great pleasure to officially congratulate Ms. Kenya Jones on her appointment as the new Deputy Director of the Environmental Health Department and to welcome her to the Turks and Caicos Islands Public Service.
Ms. Jones, who will be assigned to our Providenciales office, joins Ms. Crivanne Adams who was recently appointed as well to the Grand Turk office, as our two new deputies in the Environmental Health Department.
She brings with her a strong educational background, a wealth of experience and we are certain will be an asset to this department.
I wish her well in her new role and hope that she has a most productive and rewarding public service career.
