He holds a PhD in literature from the University of Virginia and a master’s in philosophy and contemporary cultural criticism from the University Paris 8, in addition to having studied modern literature at the State University of Haiti. From 2017 to 2021, he served as an assistant professor of French and African American studies at the University of Virginia. In 2021, he managed the transfer of collections from the Musée d’Art Haïtien to the Centre d’art in Port-au-Prince.
