MEET OUR GUEST:
Born and raised in Haiti, I moved to the US in 2002. I am married, mother of four children, and a Christian. My background is in mental health counseling starting in 2010 after I graduated from Cambridge College. With a master's degree in 2013, I am working toward a license in this field. I am also a doctoral candidate at William James College in the Organizational Leadership program. My goal is to empower communities and institutions to engage through innovative and collaborative ventures promoting mutual satisfaction and transparency.
I am currently involved in supporting the enrollment of early college students where I live in Brockton. I am actively involved with my church as a deaconess, a Sabbath school teacher, and the director of the Stewardship department. I love walking with the Lord and serving.
I also served the Haitian Youth population through a non-profit organization “Jeunesse Contre Drogue” educating and promoting awareness of addiction. In the process of publishing my first book “The Power To Be”, I am excited to share it, to start on new projects. Always open to new ideas and ventures, and I enjoy nature, music, and making connections.
