She also brings with her over 25 years of international experience across Asia, Australia and the Caribbean. Having prior experience as a SMWBE, and as an employee with a Tropical Shipping, a Port of Palm Beach steam ship-liner responsible for cargo transshipment and port logistics is certainly handy with her role at Port Houston.

She serves on several non-profit and advisory boards in her efforts to give back.
A native of the Caribbean Island of Trinidad and Tobago, she found a home in Houston and continues to serve and give back. Sabeeta’s story is one of rising through barriers as a Caribbean girl creating a difference where she can. She is mother to two young men, ages 24 and 21 and in her spare time she likes to spend time reading and swimming. The beach is her zen zone.
