Every challenge I’ve faced has shaped the person I am today—resilient, ambitious, and deeply committed to creating a lasting impact. When I tore my knee as a freshman in high school, I thought my story was over before it truly began. But God had other plans. That injury became my turning point, teaching me to see setbacks as setups for something greater. It fueled my determination to not only recover but to excel, redefining my identity and my purpose.

​

At fourteen, I discovered my passion for helping others through sports. At American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida, I worked alongside our Head Athletic Trainer to provide injury prevention, treatment, and recovery for athletes. I didn’t stop there—I founded my school’s first-ever Sports Medicine Club, creating a space for students to serve, grow, and lead. The club still thrives today, with over fifty members volunteering 250 hours each semester. That experience shaped my love for leadership, service, and the idea that we are stronger when we build together. It also taught me how to turn my passions into platforms for change.

​

Fast forward to today, and my journey has brought me to Rice University, where I continue to write my story. As a double major in Sports Management with a focus on Sports Law and Exercise Science, I’ve embraced every opportunity to lead, learn, and make an impact. I’m the co-founder of the Rice Sports Law Society and President of the Rice Olympic Weightlifting Team, where I’ve created spaces for athletes to grow both on and off the platform. I also started Rice’s first-ever competitive weightlifting club, sharing my passion for the sport that gave me my strength—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

​

As an Olympic weightlifter, I’m ranked number one in Texas, preparing to compete at Nationals and working toward my dream of representing the Cayman Islands at the 2028 LA Olympics. My dedication doesn’t stop at the platform. I’m in the process of earning my Team USA coaching certification, using my knowledge to empower the next generation of athletes. My journey has taught me to balance elite performance with a deep sense of purpose.

​

But my story isn’t just about athletics—it’s about using my platform to uplift others. I’ve worked on NIL agreements, participated in mock MLB arbitration, and contributed to groundbreaking research in bioengineering and sports science. My cultural background as a Haitian-Dominican and German-Caymanian woman drives my passion for diversity, showing me the beauty of blending different worlds into one.

​

Who I am is rooted in faith, resilience, and a fierce belief in the power of community. I stand for innovation, inclusion, and the idea that success is only meaningful when shared. Every moment of my journey—from setbacks to triumphs—has shaped my mission: to be a voice for others, to build spaces where people feel seen, and to leave every place better than I found it. This is my story. This is my brand. This is who I am.
