I am originally from France, but moved to the USA at a young age and continued my academic journey in international settings in several different countries, namely Morocco, England and the Netherlands. These experiences not only opened my mind culturally, but gave me a passion and an ear for languages— I have a native level of French and English, and studied Spanish for many years. I studied linguistics in university, which brought me to teaching pronunciation classes to university students, focusing on accent variation. Following my teaching experience, I have been working as an account manager in an international company, finding that some creativity is missing from my day-to-day life. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, singing (everywhere and all the time). I am also teaching myself to speak Italian as a fourth language. My goal is to use all of these experiences in my professional life, be creative, and enjoy the process.
