Mirlesna Azor-Sterlin

Mirlesna Azor-Sterlin, also known as Lesna or Lez, hails from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and now calls North Carolina her new “home”. A Boston transplant, she has deep roots in Randolph and Brockton. A North Carolina commissioned notary, Mirlesna eagerly takes on volunteer responsibilities. She co-founded and is chairing Haitians of the Triangle (HOTT). She was a founding member and former membership and recruitment chair of the no-longer active North Carolina Haitian Women’s Coalition (NCHWC). With a Master’s in Higher Education Student Affairs from Salem State University, a BA in Sociology from Framingham State University, and a certificate in Community College instruction from East Carolina University, she has dedicated 11 years in student affairs, administration, advising, and student success in various public universities in NC.

From a young age, Mirlesna has been committed to education and community service, reflecting her values of hard work and equity. She remains active in supporting Haiti through various initiatives. An introvert with a passion for helping others, she enjoys fritay, cocktails, travel, the beach and voluntarily co-leading a Duke and NCCU Bass Connections cohort of undergraduate researchers with a team of colleagues. Mirlesna is excited about strengthening the Haitian community in NC while balancing her roles as a mother and wife.

Mirlesna joined the NAAHP Conference team in 2022 as exhibitor and registration coordinator and this year, she will be one of the two co-director of registration.
