ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marlon Walters is an enthusiastic communicator and educator with more than a decade’s experience teaching adolescents, adults, and young learners in both Jamaica and Japan. A graduate of Northern Caribbean University and El Instituto Venezolano para La Cultura y La Cooperación, his lifelong ambition is to impact lives positively. As such, he enjoys writing songs, poems, and other literary pieces to motivate his audiences to achieve their best.

Marlon’s fascination with writing started during his years as a high school student. During those years, he developed a keen interest in feature stories, human interest stories, and documentaries. One of his most vivid recollections is of a series, Hill an’ Gully Ride, which “took the audience on a weekly trip across Jamaica’s beautiful countryside to meet the people of all ages and levels; where they lived, worked, worshiped and played.”

It was that interest which led him to major in Mass Communication as an undergraduate. Since the completion of his undergraduate studies, he has worked predominantly as an educator. He believes working as an educator provides a unique opportunity to shape young minds for the future.

Marlon is also the Producer/Host of Upward Way Podcast, a weekly production aired on Adventist World Radio (AWR).
