Hello,
I'm Mernine (mer-neen).
As the oldest daughter of Haitian immigrants in Roselle, New Jersey, words became very important to me.I learned how to write at Featherbed Lane Elementary School, where they assigned us 20 vocabulary words a week to make sentences with. The day my second grade teacher, Mrs. Cohen, taught me how to make story I haven't stopped trying since.

My senior year, I served my high school community as poet laureate and performed at many different poetry events on our campus including Multicultural Day, the Shakespeare Festival, etc.
I attended Freehold Township High School in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I was an AP and honors student, who competed in the high school speech and debate league. My senior year, I was the speech captain of the Fighting Opi forensics team, with responsibilities that ranged from hosting team practices to running the team Twitter. Throughout my high school speech career, I was a two time state finalist and national finalist in Improvisational Acting, Humorous Interpretation, and Dramatic Interpretation before graduating.
