Originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, before coming to CIE she completed a Master's degree in International Business Administration at Nova Southeastern University. She focused her research efforts on the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its effects on the economies of sub-Saharan African countries. She found that education was not always considered a priority in the humanitarian efforts to rebuild nations devastated by war and/or HIV/AIDS, resulting in millions of displaced children with no hope for reestablishing some type of normalcy in their lives.

 

Her Master’s degree at CIE used a postcolonial analysis of language, identity and power in Haiti which highlighted the different power relations of the French and Creole languages in maintaining social structures in Haiti.
