About Us

Sandy Dorsainvil is the Principal Consultant of Maximillian Consultants Inc. (MCI), a firm dedicated to preserving the cultural identity of all Americans while celebrating their contributions to the nation's diverse fabric. MCI examines how community landscapes relate to ecology, cultural heritage, and neighborhood wellbeing, exploring strategies that close urban-cultural gaps and transform urban spaces into better places to live, work, and play. All events and programs are curated, produced, and facilitated with intentionality and cultural authenticity.

With over twenty years of experience in the non-profit sector, Ms. Dorsainvil has poured her heart and soul into the South Florida community, producing hundreds of successful special events locally and around the globe. She served as Manager of the City of Miami's Little Haiti Cultural Complex, where she programmed the entire 33,000 square foot facility encompassing a theater, fine art gallery, dance studios, tech and art labs, and the Caribbean Marketplace. Her commitment to cultural preservation led her to create Sounds of Little Haiti, a monthly music festival celebrating Haitian culture and heritage. In 2018, she expanded this vision by founding the Rara Institute of Music, a program teaching students traditional Haitian rara instruments, and forming Ti Rara, the Little Haiti Rara Orchestra. She is also the proud co-owner of Noire, an Afrocentric gallery and lounge.

Her professional journey includes serving as Community Engagement Specialist and Commercial Sales Contractor for Metro 1 Properties, Miami's leading urban core real estate firm. She has collaborated with the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition on programming and professional development, served as Special Program Administrator for Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center, and held the position of Director of Strategic Programming for EcoTech Visions Foundation, where she helped "green" tech small businesses in urban areas grow and develop. Previously, she worked as a City of Miami Community Liaison in District 5 and as a teacher and Marketing Specialist for Broward County Public Schools' Career, Technical, Adult and Community Education Department.

Ms. Dorsainvil holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Howard University. Her leadership extends to numerous community boards, including serving as a board member of the Black Professionals Network (BPN), Past Chairman of The Haitian American Professionals Coalition (HAPC), and member of Miami Dade County's Art in Public Spaces Trust Professional Advisory Committee. She serves on the Executive Board of the Vizcaya Museum and Garden, the AIRIE (Artist in Residence in the Everglades) Board, the UNCF South Florida Leadership Council, and the Prosperity and Community Development Group.

An efficient and effective program facilitator, she brings deep understanding of Caribbean culture, specifically Haiti, to every project. Her ability to generate interest while perpetuating awareness of important causes, combined with her track record of fiscally sound and successful programs, makes her an invaluable asset to any initiative. Most importantly, Sandy is the proud mother of two children, Andrew and Fortune "Bella."
