Hello,
bonjour.
Bienvenue,
welcome.
Salut à tout.e.s !
Je suis une diplômée récente de maîtrise en français et TESOL à l'Université de l'État de Caroline du Nord à Raleigh, la ville capitale de mon état d'origine. Je me spécialise en français comme langue et moyen de m'exprimer à travers la littérature, la traduction et l'enseignement des langues (le français et ALS).
Ces éléments et applications de la langue française me font grand plaisir. Je poursuis toujours l'enrichissement de partager les bénéfices d'être polyglotte.s et multiculturel.le.s. dans le monde globalisé. Le partage de ces bénéfices s'appuie sur la brise des barrières de langue pour ceux et celles qui veulent lire et parler le français et vivre une vie plus florissante.
Hello, everyone!
I am a recent graduate of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. My focus falls on French language, francophone literatures with special interests in the cultural applications of translation and Teaching English as a Second Language.
I enjoy the free-form and technical layers of these expressions of the French and English languages, and find a deep reward in using my skills to dissolve communication barriers between readers and speakers alike. I hope that you will find the teaching materials, tips, and packages available here as a source of motivation to cultivate your language skills and cultural reservoirs.
Check out more on the blog to learn more about me, what I'm doing, and how to best use the resources here to build your own linguistic and cultural reservoir.

While I love French culture from the non-native perspective, striving to acquire and understand the language has taught many lessons and sharpened many skills everyone should have in their own tool box for life.
These skills are summed up in the French idea of the "système-D." The D stands for débrouille, which signifies resourcefulness, intelligence, and ingenuity. I believe that pursuing and helping others learn French creates a profound nurturing of the "système-D" qualities in individuals that while are attained by few, can be attained by all.

Interested in developing your own système-D qualities? Curious about what you can do with knowledge of a foreign language? Have a cool story to share? I'd love to hear about it.
