200% Haitian. That's what's written in my social media bios, and it's an indication of the pride that I have in where I come from and in who I am that I've been struggling to put into words since my return.

Christmas & Cobblestones in Heidelberg
It’s days like this I realize what a blessing my work really is. I had a couple of meetings with some brokers in Heidelberg, and it was my first time in what has to be the quaintest town I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting in Germany, with a castle as the backdrop no less!...
NorCal Work Life, San Francisco
I took a last minute, super quick prospecting trip to San Francisco and was there for what felt like all of five minutes, but in true Elle fashion, I made some time to wander. I’ll have to go back for a proper trip to experience all that NorCal has to offer soon!

Las Trajieneras de Xochimilco, Mexico City
One of my favourite experiences in Mexico ever has to be riding the trajineras (boats) through the canals of what was the lake on which Mexico City was built. The boats are all colourfully painted, and we brought along our own food and drinks for a picnic lunch, since the boats had a long table...
Castillo de Chapultepec, Mexico City
The Castillo de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Castle) was designed in the 18th century as a country home for the local Spanish viceroy, so basically all of my dreams and aspirations are 100% attainable because they’re all slightly less than having a castle as a summer home. The lower level of the castle now houses the National...
