Charmaine Gumbs is a Certified Surgical Technician, Medical Assistant, and a writer born and raised on the beautiful island of St. Croix US Virgin Islands, to the proud parents James Gumbs
of Sandy point St. Kitts and Emelda Sewer Gumbs of St. Croix.
The second of six children, Charmaine grew up poor, but was wealthy with morals and values that was instilled by her parents. That kept her humble and grounded. Her love for writing began in the third grade when asked to write a poem. MY PUPPY was what gave birth to the writer in her.
Charmaine attended and graduated from the St. Croix Central High School. She and her family left the island in April 1996 and relocated to Rancho Cordova Ca. Where she became a Medical Assistant. After the death of her mother in March of 1998 she relocated once again to Orlando Fl., where she became a Certified Surgical Technician. In 2006, there was a moment in her life
where she felt lost and unrecognizable to herself. It was then she began writing again and WHO AM I? was the beginning of DEFINING MOMENTS. Charmaine and her family relocated back
to st. Croix after the untimely death of Kendel Williams on January 27, 2008, where she finished raising their children.
In 2014 she released her book DEFINING MOMENTS. In her spare time when she is not writing she likes to spending quality time with her children, reading, going to the movies, going to the beaches, and staying at home.
Charmaine's dream is to become a well-known author, she has a lot to say that needs to be heard and that her books can inspire people around the world.
