Audrey Matura-Shepherd, the vice president of Oceana's new office in Belize, is an attorney by profession but is now an environmental advocate. She began her career as a journalist, working in radio, television and print. She remains involved in her media work as a weekly television talk show host on the programme "Power of Attorney" aired on Belizean-to-dah-Bone. In her career as attorney-at-law, she worked as criminal prosecutor at the office of the Director of Public Prosecution and then attorney at the Legal Advice & Services Centre. Prior to her legal career she did a brief stint in politics, when she served as a Senator from 1998 to 2000 as a member of the opposition party. She is also a part-time lecturer at the UWI Open Campus where she lectures in Criminal Law and A-Level Law.
