In 2012 I completed my Bachelor of Arts with a Distinction in French Studies at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. I have attended a 4 week Stage in Paris in 2003 and another 3 week Stage in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2010. I travelled again to France in October/November 2013, and will relocate to France in 2014. |
