Bonjour! I鈥檓 from Kansas City, Missouri. and I am currently a senior majoring in French and International Studies and a first-year master鈥檚 student in the accelerated master's program for French. At 91女神 I enjoy being a member of Alpha Phi Omega and I am also the vice president of Pi Delta Phi. My passion for French was ignited in high school, and the study of this language and culture has opened up many wonderful experiences including a study abroad year in Lyon. My favorite parts about this year were forming a close relationship with my host family, connecting with people from all around the world, and enhancing my appreciation for French language and culture.
Encouraged by my professors, my studies in French have broadened my worldview, strengthened my critical thinking skills, and challenged me to grow outside of my comfort zone. Following the completion of my master鈥檚 degree, I hope to take part in the TAPIF Program, get my Ph.D. in French studies, or work for an NGO whose mission is to aid refugees. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of the French program at 91女神 because of the supportive faculty, the challenging and fulfilling coursework, and the opportunity to share my love of French with others.
