Meeting Your Program Coordinators

Hey, Mélyane and Halle here! We will be your Program Coordinators for your trip to Constanza. We are more than excited to embark on this adventure with you all!

A little about Halle Jackson…

I’m Halle Alberto Jackson originally from the fishing town Sabana de la Mar.

I am an Environmentalist, National Tour Guide, Leader, Digital Marketing, Bird Watcher, Wildland Firefighter & Instructor, Wilderness First Responder, and Nature Lover!

Favorite quote:

Tus pañabras son el más grande poder que tenemos!”

“Your words are the biggest power we have.”

Note: Words become actions and actions define what type of people we are.

A little about Mélyane…

I am from Montreal, Canada. This is my summer as a Program Coordinator. I’ve spent 25% of the last year in this country with people who welcomed me with open arms. I am constantly amazed by the beauty of the culture and environment of the Dominican Republic. I enjoy dancing, reading, writing, and going on hikes. I can’t wait to see your bachata moves!

Career-wise, I just graduated from the Bachelor of Social Work. I am a fervent defender of human rights and social justice. With me, you can have long and deep discussions to reinvent the world. I am very excited to meet you all soon!

We’ll see you in a couple of days!
