About Me
- Hudson
- From Haiti, I migrated to the United States in 1998 and immediately started to work for Carnival Cruise Lines on board their vessels. Three years later, I started my journey to become a business consultant/auditor. I earned a Masters Degree in Accounting from FIU in 2008 and I am a graduate of the 2008 National Banking School – University of Virginia McIntire School of Commerce in Virginia. For the past few years, I have worked for a regional accounting firm providing an array of assurance services to companies from various industries including financial institutions, not-for-profit organizations, and others. As an experienced audit professional, I have been committed to maintaining professional standards and quality in all audit services. I have worked closely with clients to maximize my understanding of their systems and operations. I have strived to obtain an in-depth understanding of the client's business and exceeded their expectation by assessing risk properly and planning the appropriate combinations of audit work. My Journey to this point has been very humble and appreciative of the many opportunities offered by this great country, the United States of America.
That's an interesting question that you have posed and if we are to really think about that question, we would blow our own minds in thinking what great power there is in numbers. Historically, Caribbean people as a whole are very, very hardworking and when they set their minds to do something together, what an awesome result it woudl be. But it starts somewhere--with a desire to want to work toward a common goal--whatever that goal is. The greatest book ever written says, "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken". It's simply because of our history that we can't get past the PAST enough to recognize the true strength and power we possess together as a people. Many of us have a crabs-in-a barrel mentality where we keep pulling one another down when one tries to make it to the top, instead of helping one another to rise. We are standing on the shoulders of many who fought for us to get to this point in our lives--the ability to vote, to sit at the front of the bus, to have opportunities to pursue education equally, to read and write and the list goes on. It's a slap in the face to our ancestors for all the blood, sweat and tears they gave for us to have so many opportunities afforded to us today. There is a famous saying which simply says, "United we stand, divided we fall". Aren't we concerned about leaving a legacy like those who preceded us? So where do we start? We start by agreeing to do SOMETHING.
