She then enrolled in the L.L.B. Part I at the University of Guyana, and subsequently completed the L.L.B. Degree at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados.

She joins the prominent commercial Chambers of Messrs. Hughes, Fields & Stoby.
Ms. Macedo-Singh’s Petition for admission to the Bar was presented by Attorney-at-Law C.A. Nigel Hughes.
