Hello! I am first excited to be eligible to participate in a magazine like this! Thank you very much!
My name is Irena and I am first generation born to the US. My family always made it possible for me growing up to never forget my heritage and culture and I am very proud of my Haitian background. I speak Crèole and work as an interpreter and translator part time to reduce/eliminate the language barriers for Haitians who need these services.
I am a Scientist. I studied Biology in my undergrad for my major as well as German and have a Chemistry minor. Some of my hobbies include listening to music, singing, playing piano, modeling, traveling, eating, cooking, working out, yoga, going on walks, hiking, kayaking, and more! Feel free to ask any additional questions if you have any! Best, Irena
