I am a student in the dual degree bachelor's program between Sciences Po Paris and Columbia University. I have completed my first two years at Sciences Po's Asia focus campus in Le Havre, France where I studied Political Humanities with a minor in Law. I am currently taking a gap year where I will be working as a substitute teacher in Lowell, Massachusetts as well as continuing my restaurant job in Somerville, MA. I am searching for volunteer and internship opportunities to pursue this year whether at home or abroad. In the fall of 2024 I will move to New York City to begin the second part of my degree at Columbia University. At Sciences Po, I focused on studying world history and EU law in order to look at US history and law with a comparative approach. I made it a focus to master the French language and was able to reach a B2/C1 level. I was involved in the implementation of the association Sciences Polémiques, a French eloquence association, on the Le Havre campus in both my years and was elected President in my second year. I also was captain of the LGBTQ+ club on campus in my second year. Under Le Dragon Déchaîné, the school journal, I created the podcast series "The Age Gap" interviewing students who had taken gap years and sharing their stories as examples which is available on Spotify.I have always been passionate about education and teaching. I have taught in the US, South Africa, and France. I am interested in studying queer culture and history, drug epidemics and cultures, fashion, and the intersection of various subcultures. I would like to pursue research relating to these subjects as well as volunteer or work in the elated sectors in the future.
