Constituency #8 - Smith's South - Jane Correia
Jane Correia is a woman who brings notable business and volunteer experience into the PLP family. Educated at Gilbert Institute, Bermuda High School for Girls and Pittman's College Wimbledon, Ms. Correia started her career as a paralegal at Appleby Spurling & Kempe, and is currently the Contracts Administrator at Correia Construction Company, where she assists in the day to day management. Jane fully understands the needs of Bermuda's construction industry and the important role it plays in Bermuda's economy.
Jane is an avid sailor and is well know in the community for her dedication to the sport. She has held the position of Commodore of The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (RBYC). The first woman in the club's 200 year history. The International Race Week, King Edward VII Gold Cup, 2005 ISAF Women's World Racing Championship, ISAF Junior World Championships (with 47 countries represented) are samples of the world renowned sailing events managed during her time at the RBYC. Although these events continue to add considerably to Bermuda's economy, Jane believes that her most important responsibility in sailing was the management of the RBYC's junior programme, where young Bermudians were taught the rigors of sailing while furthering their appreciation of our island's pristine environment.
