MarjorieMarjorie forayed into the pageant world late in life but
has been enjoying it ever since. Her belief is that pageantry can be a great way to promote and bring awareness to a cause. Marjorie had the honor of being Mrs. New York International 2015.

So, she is devoting herself to helping families get through a painful time in their lives. As a Haitian-American, when hearing of the devastating earthquake in Haiti had occurred, it was an easy decision for Marjorie to return to do missionary work in Haiti. Yet, she yearned to do more. Educate Haiti Now annual Teacher Summer Institute is held over the summers and with much success, making it a great platform for Marjorie. As a teacher, this was a huge attraction in Marjorie’s decision to volunteer for EHN.

Marjorie holds a Master’s degree in Childhood Education from NYU and has been teaching for over a decade. She currently teaches fourth grade at a Title I school in Brooklyn, NY. Marjorie has been involved in community service for many years, having volunteered for New York Cares and various other non-profit organizations.
