She is the grandniece of famous Haitian saxophonist-composer Raoul Guillaume as well as Guy Durosier\, a versatile Haitian singer and organist whom Edith Piaf once called ”the living breath of Haiti’. Upon immigrating to the USA\, she received scholarships to pursue her higher education in piano performance and the healing arts leading her to find a wholistic path in pursuing her passions in ancient civilizations through her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. In addition to her clinical practice and teaching appointments\, she regularly performs and produces with a variety of musicians and has recently been working on music scoring for films which led her to compose the theme song for a short Haitian film entitled “Brother Peace” featuring historian Bayina Bello.

As a founding member of the Haitian Studies Association (HSA) and The Congress of Santa Barbara (KOSANBA)\, the Scholarly Association for the Study of Haitian Vodou\, he participates actively in the socio-political life of Haiti.
