Work Experience: For the past two year I taught English at primary schools in Cluny, France through the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF).

Why I chose MAGES: I was drawn to the MAGES program because it presents unparalleled opportunities to learn from outstanding faculty and visitors, to benefit from international internships, and to connect with like-minded individuals. Its interdisciplinary nature and the possibility to choose classes in a variety of academic subjects offers the chance to build and expand upon my history, liberal arts, and language background and to deepen my understanding of European affairs.
