ABOUT ME

I have a French mother and an American father, have lived in many countries but have made Maine my home for the past 10 years. I am fascinated by languages, love to cook up a tasty meal and listen to (or attempt to play) live music.

I live in Portland and am enjoying balancing being in the city with work, research, theater and making sure to have plenty of time outside.
