Who am I ?

I'm a Ph.D. student in French and Francophone Studies with an interdisciplinary concentration in Second Language Studies at Michigan State University (MSU).

I hold a Maîtrise in Language Didactics from the Université of Angers, and I earned my Master's degree in Language Didactics at the Université of Le Mans.

Previous diplomas included the DAEFLE (Diplôme d'Aptitude à l'Enseignement du Français Langue Étrangère – Alliance Française) and 2 DITALS certificates (Certificazione di Competenza in Didattica dell’Italiano a Stranieri International University for foreigners of Siena).

I taught French and Italian at beginner and intermediate levels in different contexts for several years.

In my personal time, when I'm not playing with my two kids, I usually love to read French crime novels or watch legal drama, medical or fantastic series or Marvel and DC Comics films.

I have been a late swimmer athlete and then a CrossFit addict. Other sports from my youth include Karate, gymnastics, and horse riding, so sport is a big part of my life and mental well-being. I used to go out for family walks in the beautiful Apulian countryside and now in the gorgeous Michigan parks!
