Dr. Carline Crevecoeur is a Haitian American board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, a wife, and a mother of five adult children. She was raised in NY and attended St. John’s University as an undergraduate, earning a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. She did her medical school and residency training at SUNY Downstate.
However, after several years of medical service in New York and Pennsylvania, Carline gave up her career to raise and homeschool her five African American children. Her homeschool journey is told in her new memoir: Pressure Makes Diamonds: From Homeschooling to the Ivy League – A Parenting Story.
She has volunteered on education boards such as WPSU, a local public radio, and NAAHP (National Assoc. for the Advancement of Haitian Professionals) and sponsored many public health programs. Dr. Crevecoeur has recently won her school board election race, making her the first Black person in her school district to do so.
Her mission is to involve parents, especially minority ones, in promoting quality education for their children.
