Early life and education

Tregenza Roach migrated from St. Kitts and Nevis to the United States Virgin Islands at the age of eight to join his parents, Victor and Iona Roach, who had made St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands their home years earlier. After attending St. Thomas Seventh-day Adventist School and V.I. public schools, Roach graduated from Charlotte Amalie High School and attended the College of the Virgin Islands, now known as the University of the Virgin Islands, as a Holstein–Lewis scholar. He earned a Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Missouri and launched his career as a reporter for the Virgin Islands Daily News, rising to news editor. He holds a juris doctorate from the University of Connecticut School of Law. Roach was a law clerk at various U.S. and V.I. governmental offices, practiced in the Territorial Court’s Civil and Family divisions and was an associate attorney at Bornn Bornn Handy and Rashid. He has been a member of the Virgin Islands Bar since 1991.[1][2]

Roach is also an author and poet whose work has been included in several collections of contemporary Caribbean poetry. He was awarded the Margaret Walker Fiction Prize by the Detroit Writers Guild in 1999 and the St. Thomas/ St. John Library Association’s Distinguished Caribbean Author Award in 2009.[3]
