Major: French, Minor: Business
I can't say that I have used my fluency in French as much as I would have liked to except to translate Canadian traffic violations for my former employer and also to find my car in a parking garage on New Year's in Montreal, but I can say that the ability to speak, read, and write a foreign language fluently makes quite an impression on prospective employers. I have chosen the Advertising field, and I hope to eventually work abroad and return to the city I discovered during my junior year abroad... Paris. I know that my French major will eventually help my candidacy for a position as an international representative of a worldwide corporation. I will return to school next year to Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications and participate in a wonderful program to receive a Master of Arts degree in Advertising. I am speaking honestly when I say that my degree in French from Skidmore along with a strong liberal arts education have truly helped me to do what I want to do so far.
