Taken in Napoleon III’s apartment at the Louvre during the 2010 France term abroad

Title of Senior Projects:
In French: "Les contes d’Hispaniola: une étude comparative de l’évolution des sociétés à travers les contes et figures mythiques [From roosters to talking fish: a comparative study of Hispaniola’s societal evolution through folktales and myth]"
In Spanish: "Balenciaga: el hombre, el enigma, el rey de la alta costura [Balenciaga: the man, the enigma, the king of couture]"

Statement: “Union gave me an incredible opportunity to both dabble and specialize in multiple languages, and I plan to use all of the valuable knowledge and experience I gained here in the business world going forward. I also plan to continue tutoring younger students in both Spanish and French because I hope to ignite in others the same passion I have for language studies.”
