I was born in Lapointe des Palmistes, Port-de-Paix, Haiti. When I was a child, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I currently have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Florida Southern College.

My name is Shmerlanda Vilfranc, a dedicated RN who embarked on a remarkable journey from Haiti in 2011. I graduated from North Miami Senior High in 2013 and from Broward College in December 2018. Currently, I am furthering my education at AdventHealth University. With a passion for excellence and patient care, my ultimate goal is to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). This aspiration drives me to continually expand my knowledge and skills, aiming to provide the highest quality of care and make a significant impact in the field of Nursing.

Born and raised in Jean-Rabel, attended Notre Dame de Lourdes high school for my secondary education. I completed my medical studies at the University of Notre Dame.

I was born and raised in Haiti and moved to the United States in 2012 to pursue my education. In 2019, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and currently work as a registered nurse. Helping others is my passion and what I consider my superpower. I believe that health is the foundation of life—when you have good health, anything is possible. My ultimate goal is to see a world where everyone has access to quality healthcare.

My name is Spencer Cadet. I was born and raised in Haiti and attended Lycée Florvil Hyppolite and Jean Jacques Rousseau. In 2010, I moved to the States and lived in New York for two years. I earned associate degrees in Chemistry and Biology from Salt Lake Community College in 2016. I then received my bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Utah in 2018. I am set to graduate from Howard College of Medicine in May 2025.

I was born in La Pointe Des Palmistes, Port-de-Paix, Haiti. One thing that stuck with me growing up was that everyone who was considered old had hypertension, diabetes, or both. I wanted to become a physician to help my grandmother and others who were living with hypertension and diabetes. I emigrated to America in 2008 to pursue that dream. In Lakeland, Florida, it was difficult for me to encounter young people within our immigrant community to ask about how to become a physician. I became a founding member of BASSA to facilitate mentorship within our community. In turn, the BASSA Medical Center program "Assistance Program for Vulnerable Elderly" facilitates my vision for alleviating hypertension and diabetes in Port-de-Paix, Haiti.
