Join us in welcoming James Etienne to Migration & Refugee Services as our Refugee Cash Assistance Specialist!

James is the proud son of Haitian immigrants who came to America seeking a better life. Originally from Fort Lauderdale, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management from DeVry University and has over 20 years of customer service experience. Growing up, James helped his parents navigate challenges like translating documents and filling out forms, which ignited his lifelong passion for helping others. These experiences, combined with James’ career in hospitality, have fueled his dedication to serving people and looks forward to bringing that passion to his work with Catholic Charities of Louisville.
