After five weeks of training on Grand Cayman, Tisa Dixon has returned to Cayman Brac to take up her post as Senior Postal Officer at the West End Post Office.

As part of her training, Ms Dixon worked at both the General Post Office and the Airport Post Office learning various postal procedures and regulations, according to information supplied by the Cayman Islands Postal Service. 

Her duties in her new position will include putting out mail, working with customers, Registered Mail and parcel post.

The post of Senior Postal Officer was left vacant last December when Thelma Turpin was promoted to District Manager, Cayman Brac, and Ms Dixon believes this is a career that she can do until she retires.

"I like the challenge and the different things that my position entails. I enjoyed the training and found it interesting, and I like the working environment.

"I also found the fact that there are so many people that have worked at the post office for a long period to be comforting. This means that it is a good place to work," she thought.

Ms Dixon, who is a native Bracker, graduated from Cayman Brac High School in 1998.

Since then, the places she has worked includes Cayman Airways, Island Air and Faith Hospital.

She has two children, Annastacia (aged 5) and Tashell (aged 9 months).

Ms Turpin said Ms Dixon was a welcome addition to the team. "She will be an asset because she has such a dynamic and friendly personality."
