I’m an agronomist by training. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture Science (option: Natural Resources and Environmental Management). I completed my Bachelor’s Degree at “Universite Episcopale d’Haiti” and I completed my bachelor’s degree research project on fish catching techniques in the sea in the south of Haiti.I have experience with fish farming, especially in the fish-production in the freshwater basin in Haiti and I also have experience with greenhouse cultivation in the USA especially on using bees to ensure the culture's pollination inside of the greenhouse.As a student on the master's degree now at UWI in Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Development, my research project will focus on freshwater fish and macroinvertebrate biodiversity in Trinidad. I’m interested in behavioural ecology and in the future I would like to study Gambusia dominicensis behaviour, an endemic freshwater fish species to Haiti and the Dominican Republic that is classed as endangered by IUCN, to ensure its conservation as well as that of other endemic fish species of Haiti.I also plan to carry out in the future some comprehensive biodiversity surveys and conduct research on the biology and ecology of freshwater fish species in Haiti. So far, no studies have yet been carried out to evaluate the biodiversity, distribution, and diversity of the freshwater fish species found in the rivers and the streams
