Early on Corey knew he wanted to become a doctor. He remembered asking his parents why some people in Hagley Gap (St. Thomas, ) didn't have a doctor, and was given the challenge to change that and he did. In the summer between his sophomore and junior year in high school he began to volunteer in hospitals and do internships with physicians he met along the way to further quench his thirst for the knowledge of medicine. While excelling in academics and volunteering his summers away, Corey fell in love with sports. His parents had the agreement that he could play any sport as long as his grades were and remained excellent. He participated in gymnastics, karate, football, swimming, hockey, lacrosse, track and field, soccer and his favorite speed-skating of which he was nationally ranked for 5 consecutive years. To this day he continues to play soccer (the real football).

After finishing high school, Corey went off to attend Rutgers University in New Brunswick NJ where he received an academic scholarship. Here he developed a strong foundation in not only academics but in the idea of what it means to give back. He knew what he wanted to do from day one. At one point he remembers arguing with his mother about taking too many classes and not having a break. You're rushing your life son” she said, but in reality he just knew what he wanted in life. He was accepted into an early admissions program at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where he started taking classes for medical school while still in his undergraduate senior year. At Rutgers he was taken under the wing of various individuals who helped him achieve his goals, though most important to him is Dr. Kamal Khan. This Trinidadian native was not only an advisor and leader, but a friend. To this day Corey returns to Rutgers to be a role model for other minority students interested in the sciences that are advisees of Dr. Khan. Corey later went on to do his residency in Emergency Medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and now is a Board Certified Attending Emergency Physician at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

During the last twelve years spent in NJ, in addition to academic goals set, Corey continued to be involved in the community. This gives him more joy that anything. The list of involved community related activities include: being a mentor for minority medical and pre-medical students, being a member in the West Indian Student Organization at Rutgers, being a speaker for the Violence Prevention Institute, a participant in The Three Doctors health fair and of course coaching soccer. All this being said Corey owes all his successes to God and his parents. Without them he is nothing. To this day he comments to his younger sister, who is a third year medical student at UMDNJ, that every last stern look, scolding, hug and kiss from my parents was and is still worth it.
