Experience

My professional journey, rooted in a bachelor’s degree in World Languages & Cultures with specializations in French and Italian, has allowed me to explore diverse fields intersecting education, cultural exchange, and digital communication. I've held positions in educational institutions ranging from elementary schools to universities, including a notable tenure as an assistant professor in France. This experience was complemented by my involvement with Alliance Française, where I contributed to cultural programming and language instruction. I've provided consulting services encompassing language tutoring, translation, and content development. My expertise extends to the digital realm, where I've engaged in blog writing, copywriting, and web design for various marketing agencies. Through these varied experiences, I've developed a unique skill set that bridges language, culture, and media, enabling me to navigate and contribute effectively in multicultural and interdisciplinary environments.
