Education
First-year graduate student at Drexel University, M.A. in Art Therapy, 2016. Santa Clara University 2014 graduate, B.S. in Psychology, B.A. in French & Francophone Studies with a minor in Studio Art. Summa cum laude.
Experience
I worked as an English language assistant at three elementary schools in Briançon, France, where I came up with lesson plans and materials for teaching English as a second language. I tutored one of my students (4th grade) in English once a week while living in Briançon. While at Santa Clara University, I worked as a teaching assistant in Cognitive Psychology, where I provided support and guidance on research papers, as well as Advanced French, where I created study guides and held review sessions with upper-level French students. The Advanced French course consisted of poetry and literary analysis, covering work by Rimbaud and Verlaine, to Jean-Paul Sartre's "Huis Clos" and Albert Camus's iconic "L'Etranger." I also served as a teaching assistant in the Advanced French Conversation course, where I assisted the professor in interactive oral activities in the classroom and edited students' scripts and interview questions for their various assignments.

Hobbies
Due to my experience living abroad (I've called Indonesia, Singapore, France and northern CA home), I am interested in languages and the way in which the words we have at our disposal frame the way we view the world. I love to travel, sing, play the guitar, practice yoga and meditate.
