Experience

I taught Latin (I, II, III) and English literature (9th-12th) for two years at the now defunct WoodRose Preparatory school in Concord, CA. In addition, I provided tutoring in Latin for two girls aged 7-10 (at the time we started) from 2007 to 2010. My expertise is in Roman History but, as a graduate student I have taken numerous courses in world history from religion in southeast Asia, pre-colonial and colonial Latin America, as well as medieval Europe, early modern Europe, ancient Greek history, the ancient Near East and Islam. In addition, I have been a teaching assistant at the Pennsylvania State University for Western Civilization (1 and 2), as well modern US History (21) and History of Nazism and Fascism (145). I am a native french speaker and hold a baccalauréat with an emphasis on science. Finally, I have achieved tremendous academic success. At the University of California, Santa Barbara, I received the Dumas Prize for best paper in Greek History. At the University of Leeds, I was awarded a full fellowship to go study at the Central European University in Budapest. This success continued at the Pennsylvania State University where I was awarded a semester residency at the Institute for Arts and Humanities, and recently, I was awarded the Waddell-Biggart Fellowship for the college of Liberal Arts.

Hobbies

Outside of graduate school, I have a few interests. I am addicted to soccer. Having grown up in France, in a soccer family, I played soccer from the age of 6. I continued to play in college, for the UC Santa Barbara club team. I have played ever since in various recreation leagues in England, San Francisco, and at Penn State. My childhood dream came true in 2006, when I had the opportunity to travel Germany to follow the French national team during the World Cup. In addition to soccer, I love to play the drums. I recently took up scuba diving, and though it is difficult to do so in Pennsylvania, I would love to continue my scuba diving training. I am currently only able to meet online, but form July 2, I will be able to meet in person.
