I am a first-year Ph. D. student at the Romance Languages Department at UGA and my interests are mostly in Medieval Literature. I was born in Laos and raised in Besançon, France. I was an undergraduate exchange student the first time I crossed the Atlantic to see for myself what there was on the other side of the pond. I liked it so much that I came back! As a graduate resident, I hope to help our Language Community residents improve their language skills through games and communicative activities. If French is your “violon d’Ingres,” come and join our convivial team of residents!
