About
I am the Communications Director for the Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group (AIDG). Our organization provides rural villages in developing countries with affordable and environmentally sound technologies that meet their need for clean water, electricity, and sanitation, the basics of life. Through a combination of business incubation, education, training, and outreach, we help individuals and communities gain access to technology that will dramatically improve their lives. Our model provides a novel approach to sustainable development by empowering people with the physical tools and practical knowledge to solve infrastructure problems in their own communities.
About me: I'm a movie fanatic and foodie, am interested in infectious disease, human rights and development, wish I had more time to create art (movies, drawings, etc.) and do yoga and other sports. I love a good game of soccer though I don't keep up with the sport much anymore. I adore all things Sci-fi and techie though I'm not a gamer. I speak French and "get you by" versions of Spanish and Creole. I was born in NYC and am of Haitian descent. Oh yes and I went to Swarthmore (class of '98).
