Jemmy Marc is a third-year undergraduate student at the University of Florida pursuing a major in economics. Born in Haiti and raised in Miami, the experiences he had growing up helped develop an inquisitive spirit early on. Being born in a different country along with early experiences from when he first immigrated led him to think about all the variables that are at play in a person’s or country’s economic outcomes. His research interests mostly revolve around how development and inequality manifest themselves both within and across nations. Jemmy aspires to become an economist in hopes of helping combat inequalities and creating a more equitable economy for all. He is a Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholar and is a teaching assistant for an undergraduate econometrics class. He also serves as a research intern for research firm Washington Analysis LLC, where he helps research potential investment changes arising from judicial, legislative, or regulatory developments across several sectors. He is passionate about giving back to his community and regularly participates in community service in the local Gainesville area through Progressive Black Men INC.
