About Makhi!

My name is Makhi Ettienne-Modeste and I live in Windsor and I go to John F. Kennedy School. I participate in lots of sports including basketball, football, and soccer but I also enjoy playing with my dogs (Blue and Paco), playing checkers, reading, and spending time with friends and family. My leadership qualities include being empathetic, outgoing, patient, and most importantly loving.
