I am a cultural anthropologist and political scientist with a deep and dynamic knowledge of Haiti gained through over twenty-five years of working in the country. I’ve lived in rural and urban areas, and have collaborated with government ministers, donors, institutions, NGOs, community-based organizations, and the private sector. Fluent linguistically and culturally, I have a thorough understanding of Haiti’s unique reality and extensive networks inside the country and around the world. I am a highly effective coalition builder with a proven ability to coordinate diverse stakeholders for emergency response and long-term collaboration. Areas of expertise include climate change, watershed management, agroforestry and agriculture, natural resource management and biodiversity conservation, human rights, communications and promotion, and participatory processes.
