I am launching a practice as a nonprofit startup advisor and grant strategist for arts education, food pantries, and organizations serving the homeless and military veterans. Growing up in Haiti, I witnessed my father, a doctor, care for others regardless of their background, income, or education. He stirred up the spirit of volunteering in me. My goal is to help you address the needs of the people in your community.
