As I step into the role of President of the Haitian Lawyers Association (HLA), I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to lead such a remarkable organization. My journey with HLA began in 2014, a decade ago, when I was one of the 2014 Scholarship recipients. Since then, HLA has become more than just an organization to me—it has become my family and an integral part of my daily life routine.

In 2019, I was honored to join the Executive Board of HLA and serve as its treasurer under the leadership of four outstanding presidents who worked tirelessly to uplift the organization. Throughout my tenure, I have had the privilege of wearing many hats within HLA, including serving as the membership chair, grant chair, pro bono chair, outreach chair, and as a liaison between many different sectors, and so much more. These roles have allowed me to witness firsthand the growth and impact of our organization, and I could not be prouder of how far we have come.
