About Me

I was born in Haiti; I now live in Moore, Oklahoma. I have a Bachelors's degree in Anthropology and Sociology. I love people, I find them incredibly fascinating, and I want to spend the rest of my serving and learning more about them. I have a master's degree in Social Work with a focus on aging. I’m currently working on a master's in Urban Planning at the University of Oklahoma.
When I'm not busy with work, you will find me reading a good book. I love going to live concerts, dancing, shaking it like there's no tomorrow. I'm super outgoing. I love talking to strangers, and I love making them laugh. I turn crappy days into amazing days.

I'm open-minded, and I'm aware of other people. Live and let live kind of person. Love who you want and be who you want. The world is full of people, but there's only one you. Always remember that.

I like different type of music. Right now I'm really into UB40. I love to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of amazing things, From moving to the US, and making things happen for me. But, one of the most fantastic things I've done as of 2017-2018 is that I moved to Utah by myself, because I was tired of living in fear, I was tired of using my worries as an excuse. I decided to face my demons, and I'm winning. You have no idea of scary it is to move out of state with no support. I'm a strong one.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise you that you haven't met anyone like me. I'm one of a kind; I'm the whole package. I love life. A lot of people feel like giving up is the only option available to them when they are going through tough times, but I use them to my advantage. I ask myself, what should I learn from this? Because of such mindset, I've been able to keep a positive outlook on life.

I will share my culture, my life experience, and many more.
