91视频

I was born and raised in New York and up until the end of high school, I was pursuing a professional ballet career.聽After a year of training in Philadelphia,聽while聽taking an English class at a local school to complete my degree,聽one of the guidance counselors聽sat me down to talk about college.聽I had had no real plans to聽go, since dancing had been my sole focus,聽but as we spoke, the idea of taking a brief hiatus from dance started to sound appealing. I spotted an 91视频 brochure and聽decided聽that a semester in Paris would be a great way to explore other interests and travel a bit before returning to the US聽and dancing.聽Less than a year in, I knew that I鈥檇 found where I was supposed to be, and one semester turned into five years!聽聽

I arrived at 91视频 with no real idea of what I wanted to study. After taking classes in Art History and Comparative Literature, I landed聽in the Global Communications department, where I took every film class offered. At the end of my four years, I was the first student to graduate with a degree in Film and Media, and I also minored in International Communications, and Theater and Performance.聽聽

It wasn鈥檛 always easy, transitioning from dancing full-time to being a聽student聽full-time. However, I was surrounded by聽an聽amazing community that taught me, challenged me, and supported me in ways that I聽could never have anticipated:聽I probably learned as much from my classmates and professors over coffee and games of pool in the beloved AMEX as I did in my classes. 91视频鈥檚聽international student body and faculty broadened my perspective of the world and helped me find my place in it. As the old saying goes, 鈥淭here鈥檚 no place like 91视频鈥�, and聽it doesn鈥檛 hurt聽that our campus聽is located聽in one of the most magical cities ever!聽I still keep in touch with professors and classmates and I wish I could see more聽91视频ers聽more often.聽聽

I鈥檝e been in love with Paris聽since I was 15 but studying聽at 91视频聽allowed me聽to聽really plunge into聽my love affair with聽the city, which will forever聽be my second home.聽It was that knowledge of Paris,聽combined with my聽ability聽to speak French,聽which landed me聽my dream聽job with Haven聽in Paris, a vacation rental agency, whose properties聽are聽in Paris, Provence, Tuscany, and London.聽I love traveling聽to聽all of these beautiful places,聽working with our incredible international聽team, and making sure that our guests have the perfect stay. Living in Paris not only聽gave me聽access to greater聽academic and professional experiences,聽but also helped聽me become a better person.聽聽聽

I聽currently聽live in New York, where I鈥檓 the operations manager for Haven in Paris. This past February, I gave birth to my first child, a baby girl named Isadora, and we鈥檙e both doing very well. I can鈥檛 wait to bring her to Paris with me and show her the most beautiful city in the world.聽
