Marie is a Haitian-born native American who moved to Massachusetts with her family in pursuit of a better life and education. While growing up, her parents were offered affordable housing in one of Nuestra Comunidad’s properties where her family resided for more than 15 years before purchasing their first home.
This experience helped Marie define what it takes to create thriving and sustainable communities. Marie is an active member of several non-profit boards that intersect with real estate development, childhood education, food access, and support for marginalized communities, including the Builders of Color Coalition, Stetson School Fund, South Shore Stars, and Mass Farmers Markets. She holds a Master of Science in Project Management from Boston University, is a licensed builder, and is a Certified Professional in Commercial Real Estate.
