Chaneil C. Imhoff
Chaneil Chazelle Imhoff (nee Jackson born December 4 1993) is an entrepreneur, communications specialist, and mental health activist[1] committed to serving the people of the St. Peter Constituency. Chaneil is an Award Winning Entrepreneur [2]who has also represented Antigua and Barbuda at the Entrepreneurship World Cup in 2019 where she was selected for the Global 100 out of 100,000 Entrepreneurs from all over the world[3]. She is the founder of Packed Grocery Delivery, Antigua and Barbuda's first Grocery Delivery App which launched 8 months early in April 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.[4]
Imhoff grew up experiencing the polarizing and divisive nature of local politics, inspiring her to organize in her community and run for public office on a progressive platform with a campaign that rejects funding from the usual political campaign funders.
Biography
Throughout her childhood, Imhoff spent time between Gunthorpes and Parham. While visiting her extended family in Parham, she saw a stark contrast in opportunities and representation based on their address.
After High School, she attended the Antigua State College and is now a Marketing Major at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus where she serves as Chairperson of the Guild of Students Publications Committee. In the General Elections of 2009 and 2014, Imhoff played instrumental roles in the Joanne Massiah and Clephane Roberts Campaigns, respectively.
As a mental health advocate, Imhoff is the author of the Mental Health Bill in the National Youth Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda and works closely with the Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital in Fundraising and Awareness Campaigns for Mental Health in Antigua and Barbuda. She is also the Public Relations officer for the Caribbean Women in Leadership Antigua and Barbuda National Chapter and The Wallings Nature Reserve.
After an unsuccessful Primary with the United Progressive Party in September of 2020, Imhoff made a difficult decision to resign from the organization due to the conduct of the Primary, the public perception of the Party’s new direction, and misalignment of vision.
Currently, Imhoff is a Team Leader of the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) and still has an interest in being a candidate for St. Peter in the next General Election. She is committed to serving working-class people over corporate interests and advocating for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice.[5]
Chaneil has been happily married since 2011 and is a mother of two daughters and a son and step-mother to one daughter and one son.
