Bio

I grew up watching people around me hit walls that had nothing to do with how talented they were. Students who were smarter than me losing opportunities because their schools did not have the same resources. Kids who wanted to compete but could not afford coaching. Classmates who had ideas but no one showing them how to get started. So I spent high school trying to fill those gaps wherever I could. I coached younger debaters for free because I remembered what it felt like to not know what I was doing. I started clubs at my school so students could try things that did not exist before. I helped classmates find mentors and publish research they never thought they could do. I interned with my city government and ended up drafting legislation I presented to commissioners, which taught me how policy actually gets made. None of it was about building a resume. I just kept seeing problems and trying to fix them with whatever I had. I am a first-generation, low-income Haitian-American student. My mom works as a nurse and raised me and my brother on her own. I want to go to law school because I have seen how funding and policy decisions shape which communities get opportunities and which get left behind. I want to be part of changing that.
