Haha. Not quite. Haitian born escaped dictatorship by fleeing to America, studied architecture in New York at Columbia, married a swiss man and moved to Liberia, ivory coast, England, France, Haïti, and back to Switzerland. In that time she raised 2 kids, did a PhD in sociology, coordinated the national lobby of engineers and architects in Haiti and worked on restoration and reconstruction of national heritage architecture in Haiti. She has now retired and lives in Switzerland and complains about how cold it is.

Oooo I was right about her being international and super intelligent and well-learned though! Surely speaks fluent English and French and probably Swiss German. And engineering is closely related to science. A picture says a lot about a person and I happen to be a very perceptive person. That’s so amazing about her engineering and architectural legacy in Haiti.
