Biography

I was born in Lawrence, KS and I received my BA in French and Italian Studies from the University of Kansas in 2020. I spent the 2018-2019 academic year in Angers, France as part of the KU study abroad program where I received a certificate in C1 Level French Studies. I spent the 2021-2023 academic years at the Université de Franche-Comté SLHS in Besançon, France as an English lecturer. While there, I also worked as an English lecturer at the Université de Téchnologie de Belfort-Montbéliard at the Severnans campus. I spend my free time baking French desserts, gardening, and reading on vexillology.
