CURRENT MISSION

Learn French, travel, and experience the world

ABOUT ME

I studied French at New York University, and am currently living in France, working as an English assistant. For a long time I wanted to make films and study filmmaking in college, but found my calling which is language. Still a huge film buff, though. I'd love to learn German, Russian, Mandarin, Italian, and Farsi. I am a huge admirer of kittens, but I am sadly allergic to them. I've been a vegetarian for ten years, but I remain one more out of habit than anything else.

PHILOSOPHY

Find as much beauty in life as you can.
