Creole & Vodou in Haiti
On January 14, 2010, two days after the catastrophic earthquake that crushed Port-Au-Prince and the surrounding towns, the journalist David Brooks published a column in the New York Times in which he claimed that "voodoo" is a "progress-resistant" cultural influence because it spreads the message that "life is capricious and planning futile."

Previously, Rona has worked in roles in data analytics at IXI Digital and AOL and management consulting at McKinsey & Co. He earned a BA and MA in Political Science from Stony Brook University and a PhD in Behavioral Economics from Duke University.
