I'm originally from Madison, Wisconsin, but now call Washington, DC home. I was an exchange student in Nantes for a semester, was an English teaching assistant in Pau for a year, and now I'm an intern at a university in Troyes. My internship is part of my Master's degree in French and International Education.

教，学，和分享

I always love practicing and sharing my knowledge of French and Spanish. I have wowed many host families with my culinary skills (especially Mexican food!). I also play violin, and sometimes travel with my violin, and I'm always happy to give mini concerts.
