A native of Haiti, he spent thirty-five years working for the Haitian press and foreign media, but he has spent his entire life observing the actions of Haitian society and delving into the intricacies of its history. Dr. Pauyo has personally experienced living among the people in privileged classes and within the Haitian diaspora, and tells us that understanding Haiti by exploring the base of its history including its culture, political mentality, social mobility, and economic setbacks among others, has always been his passion.

He then attended the Universidad del Noreste in Mexico where he received a Doctor of Medicine degree after having conducted clinical studies in Michigan and New York.
