Janice Desir

Janice grew up in a Haitian-American community in New York. Fluent in Haitian creole and familiar with Haitian culture and healing traditions, she sought to deepen her understanding of Haitian religiously grounded healing practices, in particular maternal and early infant health care. Having received a Masters in Public Health at the BU School of Public Health, Janice plans to work in the field for a year, before going to medical school.
