Early Life & Education

​

A first-generation Haitian-American born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts (The City of Champs). Wendell’s Football career ended in the 4th grade, after chipping his tooth going face first into a steel trash can whilst trying to catch a football. From that point, he understood the concept of being flexible and not letting failed attempts define him. Wendell found a new interest in basketball and track throughout middle school. However, growing up in a single parent household wasn’t the easiest, especially after losing his older sister at a very early age. Wendell’s mother was a highly educated and poise woman that had very high standards for him. She instilled in him the importance of education, constantly reminding him that “Knowledge is Power, and once you have it no one can take it from you.” This resonated with Wendell thereon.

​

In May 2005, Wendell woke up to tears, ambulances and his mother who passed away in her sleep. The thought of losing his mother was unreal. Following such tragedy, Wendell (aged 13) and his 5-year-old brother were legally adopted by his aunty Josie, as Wendell's father claimed he was unable to take care of him.

​

After graduating from middle school the following month, the transition from middle school to high school was very difficult, Wendell was not at his best academically, causing him to repeat his first year in high school. However, during his junior year, Wendell had a life changing moment as he joined the travel club at his school and raised money to volunteer at a camp in Saint Croix. On that trip, Wendell shared his story to a group of children and his peers for the very first time, at the end of his story, a young boy approached Wendell with a big hug, expressing his admiration he said “I want to be like you one day when I grow up”. He too lost his single parent mother a few months earlier and he felt lost with no hope for his future. At that moment, Wendell realized his story can be used as an inspiration to others, but also as his motivation to succeed and make his family proud. Once Wendell got back from the volunteering trip to Saint Croix, he completed his last semester in high school elated and with the hope of going to college to better himself and make his Mother proud.

​

As Wendell entered his Senior year of high school, he was faced with the challenge of getting into any of his college choices because of his low GPA. Community college was the only realistic options presented to him, however, after consecutively doing well each semester, he was given the opportunity to apply for a Foundation Year program at Northeastern University. The Foundation Year program is designed to give a selected number of recent High school graduates the opportunity to prove themselves in a 4-semester rigorous academic program. Wendell applied to the program, and was given the opportunity to interview for a chance to be selected as one of the students. Unfortunately, Wendell's GPA was below a 2.0 and ran the risk of rejection. With one and a half of a semester left, he was determined to bring his GPA up, and at the end of his 4th semester his GPA was over a 2.0. Wendell was awarded a MacBook computer from the principle of the school in a form of a scholarship for not allowing how he started high school be the faith of his destiny. Furthermore, Wendell's achievement gained him admission into the foundation year program.

​

Wendell completed the Foundation year program at the college with a 3.7 GPA, and was awarded a full ride scholarship into the D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Marketing. In 2013, Wendell went to study abroad at the Grenoble Graduate School of Business in France taking a semester of International Marketing courses and getting his certificate in Digital Marketing. Wendell graduated from Northeastern University in May 2015.

He said "everything I have learnt from everything I attempted that did not work out is  a lesson I needed to learn for the next big thing".
