No. 01About
Young, Haitian,and in the room.
I'm a Haitian Political Science student at the University of Massachusetts Boston with a strong interest in diplomacy, international relations, global governance and sustainable development.
My work focuses on youth engagement, international cooperation and expanding opportunities for young people — particularly those from underrepresented communities. I bring a Haitian and Global South perspective, a strong commitment to youth representation, and experience in community engagement, strategic communications, media, event coordination and youth-led initiatives.
