Hi! I'm Emilie, a Math major from the Abu Dhabi campus. I'm originally from Japan, but attended the French school in Singapore for 6 years. However, I've never lived in France, so I'm excited to discover the city with all of you! I'm planning events that will be celebrating major celebrations from different cultures this semester, so tune in to join us, and I hope we all get to learn something new out of it!

Hi everyone! I’m Shada Solaiman, your RA at Ivry. I’m studying medicine, and when I’m not buried in books, I like getting lost in different corners of Paris: sometimes it’s a quiet park, sometimes it’s a street full of surprises, sometimes it’s just the perfect coffee spot. If you’re up for exploring together or need anything, feel free to reach out!

Philosophy is at the core of my studies and my career plans in research. Beyond that, I enjoy swimming and running, playing guitar, drawing, visiting museums and exhibitions, going to the cinema or theater, and exploring Paris - whether through summer picnics or cozy, winter raclette dinners with friends. As a Resident Assistant, I'm here to offer support and encouragement so you feel at home in Paris, in your studies, and within the student community. I'm happy to join you for city walks, coffee breaks, study groups, movie nights - and I'm always open to your ideas. I look forward to meeting you!
