Determined, positive, responsible, dynamic, ambitious and persevering are some of the adjectives she uses to describe herself.

On Tuesday the Caribbean native met with Haitian Consul Justin Viard, and members of the Cultural Affairs and Communication Section. Viard o described her as open-minded and naturally curious.
