He began his academic journey at the Faculty of Human Sciences and the Faculty of Applied Linguistics at the State University of Haiti in October 2010, driven by his commitment to media and communication. His career in journalism started in 2000 with an internship at "Radio Vision 2000," where he joined and later became the main host of the entertaining show "Paroles de Jeunes."
