Jevon Forrest is a proud graduate of the Faculty of Science and Technology, earning a BSc in Geography with a minor in Information Technology from The University of the West Indies, Mona.

He began his academic journey in September 2019 as a part-time student, balancing full-time work while self-financing his education. In 2025, he graduated with First Class Honours, earning several Academic Commendations along the way.

Beyond academics, Jevon remained actively engaged in faculty life. He served as 2nd Vice President of the Computing Society and later as Senior Content Creator on FST’s Publications Subcommittee. Working alongside fellow creatives, he helped redesign departmental logos, contributing to a refreshed visual identity and renewed sense of excellence across the faculty. His creative contributions also supported a successful FST campaign that culminated in the election of a UWI Mona Guild President.

Jevon’s path was not without challenges. He stepped away from his studies during the COVID-19 pandemic and after the loss of his beloved grandmother. Despite these setbacks, his resilience and determination carried him through to completion.

Academically, Jevon demonstrated a strong interest in meteorology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). His scholarly work extended beyond the classroom, with a publication in the Caribbean Geoscience Conference Volume of Abstracts, based on collaborative coursework completed with his classmates—marking an important milestone in his academic and research journey.

He further strengthened his technical expertise by earning official GIS certification through UWI in partnership with the Land Information Council of Jamaica and the National Spatial Data Management Branch. During his internship at the International Centre for Environmental and Nuclear Sciences (ICENS), he applied these skills to support carbon accounting and environmental research, producing key spatial maps.

Committed to professional development and national impact, Jevon also completed the Supervisory Management course at the Mona School of Business.
