My interest to study Medicine began when I was a young boy in Haiti. I began to see the work of doctors and other healthcare professionals who saved the lives of some of the most important people in my life. This was very significant for me as a young boy to see a physician help others during a time where their health was deteriorating. After being a witness to how medicine can help others, I began my studies at the Faculty of Medicine in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I then moved to Chicago, Illinois to complete my Residency program at the St. Mary & Elizabeth Medical Center for Family Medicine. Throughout my career, I have been able to lead my patients to live healthier lives and prevent illnesses. Therefore, I could not think of a more valuable, fulfilling or personally meaningful career for me.
