Monite is a 1st generation Haitian American. Her parents moved from the the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, to America. Monite is a junior at SUNY Brockport with a double major in Biology and Neuroscience as well as a minor in Pre-Professional Health. Monite
has taken part in clubs such as the African Student Union, Women Of Color Empowerment, and served as secretary on the E-Board of the Caribbean Student Association. Monite plans to attend medical school and become a neurosurgeon. She currently volunteers at Comfort Care Facility, where she provides the utmost care and support for the residents along with their families. Monite also volunteers in the
emergency room at Ellis Hospital, all while taking summer classes to become an EMT in September. Monite’s kind-hearted personality brings joy not only to her family but also the people she meets. In her free time, she enjoys singing and writing. Monite loves her
culture and takes pride in Haiti being the first black country to gain their independence.
She knows that her country played a major role in her mother's and father's tenacious ability to thrive, which they passed onto Monite. The Haitian motto “L’union fait la force” (Unity Makes Strength) is another propelling force which leads Monite to save lives and
eventually join the Doctors Without Borders organization in Haiti.
